User Preferences

You can specify a default station or a default transports list (e.g. only specific transport systems) in a JSON file. This only affects the CLI version! The first available file will be loaded:

file specified in the environment variable: MVG_FILE
an existing .mvg file in the current directory (PWD)
an existing .mvg file in the home directory of the current user (HOME)

Example .mvg file:

 {"default_transports":["u"],"default_station":"Hauptbahnhof"}

This limits the transports to U-Bahn and uses "Hauptbahnhof" as default station:

$ mvg
=[                         /Users/rmoriz/.mvg ]=
Hauptbahnhof: U
======================================[ 13:34 ]=
U1  | Mangfallplatz                 |  0 Minuten
U2  | Feldmoching                   |  0 Minuten
U4  | Arabellapark                  |  3 Minuten
U4  | Theresienwiese                |  4 Minuten
...

You can overwrite the station as mentioned above but the transport limitation is currently global!

$ mvg Ostbahnhof
=[                         /Users/rmoriz/.mvg ]=
Ostbahnhof: U
======================================[ 13:37 ]=
U5  | Neuperlach Süd                |  2 Minuten
U5  | Laimer Platz                  |  8 Minuten
U5  | Neuperlach Süd                | 12 Minuten
...

The default transports list (= all available) is:

Ruby:

[ :u, :bus, :tram, :s ]

JSON:

["u", "bus", "tram", "s"]
