# pingcli config get

Read stored configuration settings for the CLI.

## Synopsis

Read stored configuration settings for the CLI.

The `--profile` parameter can be used to read configuration settings for a specified custom configuration profile. Where `--profile` is not specified, configuration settings will be read for the currently active profile.

```
pingcli config get [flags] key
```

## Examples

```
  Read all the configuration settings for the PingOne service in the active (or default) profile.
    pingcli config get pingone

  Read the noColor setting for the profile named 'myprofile'.
    pingcli config get --profile myprofile noColor

  Read the worker ID used to authenticate to the PingOne service management API.
    pingcli config get service.pingOne.authentication.worker.environmentID
