    Create a CLI Configuration File (Strings)

    To automatically create a configuration file, follow these steps:

    1. From the command line, type phrase init to create a .phrase.yml file.

      The configuration process starts in the CLI.

    2. Provide:

      • Access token

      • Phrase project ID

      • Locale file format

      • Location of locale files in the project codebase

    A basic configuration file is created.

    If using a manually created or copied configuration file, place it in one of these locations:

    • The directory in which the CLI client is called.

    • The home directory of the current user ($HOME in Unix, $HomePath in Windows).

    • The path specified in the PHRASEAPP_CONFIG environment variable.

    • Path to configuration file via the --config flag (e.g. /some/path/to/phrase.yml).

    Sample configuration file.
