This is a CLI tool which converts config file (JSON is only supported for now) into GNU option style string
bash
$ cat test.json
{
"key1": 1,
"key2": "hello",
"key3": [2,3,4],
"key4": 1.4,
"key5": null,
"a": "b"
}
$ ./config2args test.json
--key1 1 --key2 hello --key3 2 3 4 --key4 1.4 --key5 -a b
cargo >= 1.32.0 is required. Using rustup is a good way to install rust build tools.
$ git clone git@github.com:serihiro/config2args.git
$ cd config2args
$ cargo build --release
--) and short key name (with -)"aaaa", [1, 2, 3].In many cases, machine learning scripts are implemented with many CLI options.
For example, I often execute a python script like this:
bash
$ python train_imagenet.py \
"$imagenet1k_base/train.ssv" \
"$imagenet1k_base/val.ssv" \
--root "$imagenet1k_base" \
--mean "$imagenet1k_base/mean.npy" \
--gpu 0 \
--arch resnet50 \
--batchsize "$batch_size" \
--val_batchsize "$batch_size" \
--epoch "$epoch" \
--loaderjob 2 \
--out "$output_path"
Of course, this is written in one shell script. But this style is not easy to read and update :(
So I wanted to manage these options with more comfortable format, like JSON or YAML.
bash
$ python train_imagenet.py `config2args config.json`
