WORKING WITH THE CLI ENVIRONMENT (TREE)
The CLI can store settings, aliases, and other configuration into its preferences file. By default this
file is stored in
~/.fikon/tree.xml
.
You interact with the tree in a way that is similar to working with a file system. Fikon's tree is a
nested set of environments (directories). Each environment has variables in it, and each
environment can contain child environments.

environment.

the current environment.

nested inside the current one.
