Configuration

Configuration is stored at ~/.config/linear-cli/config.yaml. The CLI creates the directory with owner-only permissions when saving config.

Key	Purpose
api_key	Fallback Linear API key, after --api-key and LINEAR_API_KEY
default_team	Team key used only by issue list, issue create, and project create when those commands omit --team

linear-cli config set default_team ENG
linear-cli config get default_team
linear-cli config list

config list redacts a saved API key. config set and config get accept any key string, but the CLI's documented configuration keys are api_key and default_team.

default_team does not apply to labels, cycles, workflow states, project listing, or any other command. Those commands require their own --team where documented.
