Init Config
This command is, in essence, the entrypoint to using daft launcher.
This will initialize an empty configuration file, named .daft.toml, in the current working directory.
The file itself will contain some default values that you can tune to your liking.
Some of the values are required, while others are optional; which ones are which will be denoted as such.
Example
# initialize the default .daft.toml configuration file
daft init-config
# or, if you want, specify a custom name
daft init-config my-custom-config.toml
Config file specification
Each available configuration option is denoted below, as well as a small blurb on what it does and whether it is required or optional. If it is optional, its default value will be defined as well.
