# Universal Configuration Grammar - Working Title.

This is an experiment in configuration management. The approach is **not**
to create a "parsable" config file format.  We have plenty of
those. Instead we try to specify a grammar for describing
configuration values that can then target various configuration
formats to output to.

In theory this could support anything from command line flags to json
to yaml or toml or even xml.

The goal is to allow a global shared configuration repository that can
be version controlled, enforce _some_ typesafety, and output
configuration for any application regardless of that applications
preferred format.

## Usage

You can get ucg with cargo `cargo install ucg`.

Running ucg help will show the following output.

```sh
Universal Configuration Grammar compiler.

USAGE:
    ucg [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information

```
