List supported JFrog CLI environment variables

The jf options command prints every environment variable recognized by the JFrog CLI, together with defaults and descriptions. Use it as a quick in-terminal reference when tuning CI jobs or local shells.

Synopsis

jf options

Aliases: none

Arguments

Options

This command accepts no flags. jf options --help is not supported — it returns no output. Run jf options without any arguments to display the variable list.

Examples

List All Environment Variables

To print every supported variable and its default:

• Run:

jf options

The command prints all supported environment variables, their default values, and descriptions. As of CLI v2.x, this includes 25 variables spanning log control, build-info, plugin configuration, CI/CD behavior, and security scanning. The generic CI variable (without the JFROG_CLI_ prefix) is also listed — when set to true, it disables all interactive prompts and progress bars.

When to Use

Use jf options as a quick reference for all environment variables the CLI supports. This is especially useful when:

• Setting up CI/CD pipelines and you need to know variable names
• Debugging behavior by checking which environment variables might be affecting the CLI
• Discovering new features controlled by environment variables

👍

Shortcut

: For a complete reference with categories and defaults, see the Environment Variables page instead. jf options is the "quick check" version.

📘

Note

: jf options shows the CLI's configured default values — it does not show the values currently active in your shell session.

To inspect which JFROG_CLI_* values are set in your shell:

• Run:

env | grep JFROG_CLI
