corectl context

Create, update and use contexts

Synopsis

Create, update and use contexts

Contexts store connection information such as engine url, certificates and headers, similar to a config. The main difference between contexts and configs is that they can be used globally. Use the context subcommands to configure contexts which facilitate app development in environments where certificates and headers are needed.

The current context is the one that is being used. You can use "context get" to display the contents of the current context and switch context with "context set" or unset the current context with "context unset".

Note that contexts have the lowest precedence. This means that e.g. an --engine flag (or an engine field in a config) will override the engine url in the current context.

Contexts are stored locally in your ~/.corectl/contexts.yml file.
