# Consul Config
Command: `consul config`
The `config` command is used to interact with Consul's central configuration
system. It exposes commands for creating, updating, reading, and deleting
different kinds of config entries. See the
[agent configuration](/docs/agent/options.html#enable_central_service_config)
for more information on how to enable this functionality for centrally
configuring services and [configuration entries docs](/docs/agent/config_entries.html) for a description
of the configuration entries content.
## Usage
Usage: `consul config <subcommand>`
For the exact documentation for your Consul version, run `consul config -h` to view
the complete list of subcommands.
```text
