Configuration

meta needs no configuration file — every option is a flag on the command line, applied globally before the subcommand.

meta [GLOBAL FLAGS] [COMMAND] [COMMAND FLAGS]

Global Flags

FlagDescription
--jsonOutput results as JSON instead of formatted text.
--no-colorDisable ANSI color output. meta also respects the NO_COLOR environment variable and disables color automatically when output isn't a TTY.
--quietPrint a condensed summary instead of full detail — a count for deps/scripts/env/contributors, and only failing/warning checks for health.
--pathRun against a different directory instead of the current working directory.
--version, -vPrint the installed version and exit.
--help, -hShow usage help.

Examples

# JSON output for scripting
meta --json health

# Point at another project
meta --path ../other-project

# Condensed summary, no color, for CI logs
meta --quiet --no-color health

--json output is unaffected by --quiet — JSON is already machine-consumable, so --quiet only changes human-readable text output.
