Using the CLI
You can use the CLI arguments to further fasten up your wikipedia experience in wiki-tui. While there are more QOL-features and arguments for the CLI planned, those are the things you can currently do with the CLI:
Tip
You can always run wiki-tui --help to get an overview of available
arguments
Search Query Argument
wiki-tui <search-query>
Example
If you already know that you want to search for github you can pass it in as a argument
wiki-tui github
It will open wiki-tui and already start the search so you don't have to type it into the search bar
Changing the language
wiki-tui --language <language-code>
Example
If you want to change the language to German, simply pass it in as a argument
wiki-tui --language de
wiki-tui --language german
wiki-tui --language deutsch
It will open wiki-tui with the language set to German
Tip
You can also use the short variant of this argument -l to change the language
wiki-tui -l de
For more information about language changing, view this page of the docs
Print cache and config
To view the cache directory where the log file and crash-reports are written to, use this command
wiki-tui --cache-dir
If you want to instead view the path for the config file, use this command
wiki-tui --config-path
Change logging level
You can also change the configured logging level.
wiki-tui --level <level>
Example
Changing the level to Debug
wiki-tui --level 0
Available values are:
| Value | Level |
|---|---|
| 0 | Debug |
