Assume yes to all questions

Pass --yes or -y option to answer yes to all questions.

Display help

Pass --help option to display help. Command specific helps include also the minimum IAM permissions needed to run the command.

Display Takomo version

Pass --version option to print version information.

Enable confidential information logging

By default, environment variables and confidential parameter values are concealed from logs. Override this default by passing --log-confidential-info.

Enable statistics

Use --stats option to print statistics information of the executed command.

Feature flags

You can use --feature <feature>=<boolean value> option to enable and disable certain Takomo features.

Available feature flags:

• deploymentTargetsUndeploy - Set false to disable undeploy deployment targets command
• deploymentTargetsTearDown - Set false to disable tear down deployment targets command

Load AWS SDK config

Use --load-aws-sdk-config to prefer loading credentials from configuration file over the credentials file. Passing this option will enable loading the profile from ~/.aws/config file.

Load environment variables from a file

Use --env-file <path-to-environment-variables-file> to load environment variables from a file. The loaded variables override existing variables with the same name. This option can be used multiple times.

The environment variables must be defined in a format accepted by dotenv, like so:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=root
DB_PASS=s1mpl3

Set logging level

Use --log <level> option to choose the logging level.

Supported values are:

• trace

• debug

• info (default)

• warn

• error

• none (suppress all logging)

Set project dir

Use --dir <directory> or -d <directory> option to define the directory from where Takomo loads configuration.

Set variables

Pass --var and --var-file options to provide variables that can be used in stack group and stack configuration files and stack templates. Both options can be used multiple times.

For more information, see command-line variables.

Show command to generate IAM policies

Use --show-generate-iam-policies option to print instructions how to generate IAM policies needed to run the command.

Suppress all but the final output

Use --quiet or -q to suppress all logging and all but the final output. Useful when you want to write the command output to a file.

Use AWS profile

Use --profile <profile> option to choose which AWS profile to use.

For more information, see AWS credentials.
