# config

## Description

* Retrieve the configuration stored in the Cauldron for a given partial native application descriptor or complete native application descriptor
* Log the configuration as a JSON formatted string in your terminal &#x20;

## Syntax

`ern cauldron get config <descriptor>`

**Arguments**

`<descriptor>`

* A partial native application descriptor.

## Remarks

* A Cauldron can contain global configurations that apply to:
  * All native application versions &#x20;
  * All versions of a given native application platform &#x20;
  * A specific native application version &#x20;
* Only the container generator configuration is stored in a Cauldron.
* Because container generation is platform-specific, this configuration is stored per-native-application platform and applies to all native application versions associated to the platform. &#x20;
* You can view the configuration in the Cauldron document stored in your Git repository.
