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 is 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
If you want to view the path for the theme configuration file, use this command
wiki-tui --theme-config-path
Change logging level
You can also change the configured logging level. This can be done by either using a number to set the level or by using the name of the logging leven (for more information, see the table below)
