Updates configuration with the value of a given key.

## Synopsis

Update the configuration by setting a key to a value.
Use 'glab config set --global' to set a global config.
Specifying the '--host' flag also saves in the global configuration file.

```plaintext
glab config set <key> <value> [flags]
```

## Examples

```console
- glab config set editor vim
- glab config set token xxxxx --host gitlab.com
- glab config set check_update false --global
```

## Options

```plaintext
  -g, --global        Write to global '~/.config/glab-cli/config.yml' file rather than the repository's '.git/glab-cli/config.yml' file.
      --host string   Set per-host setting.
```

## Options inherited from parent commands

```plaintext
  -h, --help   Show help for this command.
```
