# :kapitan-logo: **CLI Reference** | Global flags

These flags are accepted by **every** `kapitan` command (they sit before the
subcommand, e.g. `kapitan --profile compile`). Each command also has its own
flags — see the per-command pages — and any flag can be persisted in the
[`.kapitan` dotfile](kapitan_dotfile.md).

The table below is generated from **Kapitan**'s argument parser at docs-build
time, so it always matches the installed version.
