### Modifying Configurations from the Command line
You can override a configuration field for the current instance of `jrnl` using `--config-override CONFIG_KEY CONFIG_VALUE` where `CONFIG_KEY` is a valid configuration field, specified in dot-notation and `CONFIG_VALUE` is the (valid) desired override value.
You can specify multiple overrides as multiple calls to `--config-override`.
!!! note
These overrides allow you to modify ***any*** field of your jrnl configuration. We trust that you know what you are doing.
#### Examples:
``` sh
#Create an entry using the `stdin` prompt, for rapid logging
jrnl --config-override editor ""
#Populate a project's log
jrnl --config-override journals.todo "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/todo.txt" todo find my towel
#Pass multiple overrides
jrnl --config-override display_format fancy --config-override linewrap 20 \
--config-override colors.title green
