.asyncHelpers

Example

# display the config
$ app --config
# set a boolean for the current project
$ app --config=toc
# save the cwd to use for the current project
$ app --config=cwd:foo

$ app --config=tasks:readme

.cwd

Set the --cwd to use in the current project.

# {foo: ['bar', 'baz']}}

.del
