The CLI uses a context to decide which account, profile, namespace, and subnet a command applies to. Use idyl whoami to inspect the active context:

​
Update saved context values

Set default values when you want future commands to use the same namespace or subnet:
Only the values supplied by flags are changed.

​
Override context for one command

Many commands accept context flags. Use them when a command should run against a different account, namespace, subnet, or saved context without changing your defaults. Example:

​
Use a different configuration directory

Use --homedir when you need a command to read configuration from a different IDYL directory:
By default, the CLI uses ~/.idyl.
