Scopes and settings

Inspect effective configuration

wago config
wago config list
wago config list --json
wago config diff

Inside a project, configuration commands use local scope by default. Be explicit in scripts:

wago config list --local
wago config list --global

Get and set one value

wago config get optimizations.inline
wago config set optimizations.inline off --local
wago config set optimizations.inline on --global

Boolean values accept on/off, true/false, yes/no, and 1/0.

The top-level editor supports one-shot changes too:

wago config --enable simd
wago config --disable inline
wago config --set runtime.parallel=auto

Reset inheritance

wago config reset optimizations.inline --local
wago config reset --all --local

Resetting a local value removes the override. The project inherits the global value again.

Experimental settings

wago config list --experimental
wago config set tail-call on --experimental

The available list comes from the selected runtime and architecture. Planned but unavailable features cannot be enabled.

Stable optimizations already use Wago's intended defaults. Override one for a measured workload, diagnosis, or controlled experiment.
