Feature: #108815 - CLI commands for system configuration 

See forge#108815

Description 

New CLI commands have been introduced to manage TYPO3 system configuration (stored in config/system/settings.php) directly from the command line.

The following commands are now available:

configuration:show 

Shows a configuration value. By default, if the active value differs from the local value (for example, due to overrides in config/system/additional.php), both values are displayed with the difference highlighted.

# Show configuration (with diff if overridden)
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:show SYS/sitename

# Show active (effective runtime) value
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:show SYS/sitename --type=active

# Show local (settings.php) value only
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:show DB/Connections/Default --type=local

# Output as JSON
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:show BE/debug --type=active --json
Copied!

configuration:set 

Sets a configuration value in config/system/settings.php.

# Set a string value
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:set SYS/sitename "My Site"

# Set boolean or integer values using --json
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:set BE/debug true --json
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:set SYS/displayErrors 1 --json

# Set an array value
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:set EXTENSIONS/my_extension '{"key": "value"}' --json
Copied!

The --json option parses the value as JSON, which allows booleans, integers, and arrays to be set with proper types.

configuration:remove 

Removes configuration value or values from config/system/settings.php.

# Remove a single path (asks for confirmation)
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:remove EXTENSIONS/my_extension/setting

# Remove without confirmation
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:remove EXTENSIONS/my_extension/setting --force

# Remove multiple paths (comma-separated)
vendor/bin/typo3 configuration:remove "EXTCONF/ext1,EXTCONF/ext2" --force
Copied!

Impact 

These commands provide a convenient way to manage TYPO3 system configuration from the command line, which is especially useful for:

  • automated deployment and provisioning scripts
  • CI/CD pipelines that need to adjust configuration
  • quick configuration changes without needing to access the Install Tool
  • scripting and automation tasks

The commands respect TYPO3 configuration path restrictions and only allow writing to paths that are defined in the default configuration or explicitly allowed (such as EXTENSIONS , EXTCONF , DB ).
