url = https://hosted.weblate.org/api/
[keys]
https://hosted.weblate.org/api/ = APIKEY
You can then invoke commands on the default server:

Configuration files
+++++++++++++++++++
:file:`.weblate`
Per project configuration file
:file:`~/.config/weblate`
User configuration file
:file:`/etc/xdg/weblate`
System wide configuration file
The program follows the XDG specification, so you can adjust placement of config files
by environment variables ``XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` or ``XDG_CONFIG_DIRS``.
Following settings can be configured in the ``[weblate]`` section (you can
customize this by :option:`--config-section`):
.. describe:: key
API KEY to access Weblate.
.. describe:: url
API server URL, defaults to ``http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/``.
.. describe:: translation
Path to the default translation - component or project.
The configuration file is an INI file, for example:
.. code-block:: ini
[weblate]
url = https://hosted.weblate.org/api/
key = APIKEY
translation = weblate/master
Additionally API keys can be stored in the ``[keys]`` section:
.. code-block:: ini
[keys]
https://hosted.weblate.org/api/ = APIKEY
This allows you to store keys in your personal settings, while using the
:file:`.weblate` configuration in the VCS repository so that wlc knows which
server it should talk to.
Examples
++++++++
Print current program version:
.. code-block:: sh
$ wlc version
version: 0.1
List all projects:
.. code-block:: sh
$ wlc list-projects
name: Hello
slug: hello
source_language: en
url: http://example.com/api/projects/hello/
web: https://weblate.org/
web_url: http://example.com/projects/hello/
You can also designate what project wlc should work on:
.. code-block:: sh
$ cat .weblate
[weblate]
url = https://hosted.weblate.org/api/
translation = weblate/master
$ wlc show
branch: master
file_format: po
filemask: weblate/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
git_export: https://hosted.weblate.org/git/weblate/master/
license: GPL-3.0+
license_url: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0+
name: master
new_base: weblate/locale/django.pot
project: weblate
repo: git://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate.git
slug: master
template:
url: https://hosted.weblate.org/api/components/weblate/master/
vcs: git
web_url: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/weblate/master/
With this setup it is easy to commit pending changes in the current project:
.. code-block:: sh
$ wlc commit
