## Flags

The table below is generated from **Kapitan**'s argument parser at docs-build time, so it always matches the installed version. See also the [global flags](kapitan_flags.md) accepted by every command, and the [`.kapitan` dotfile](kapitan_dotfile.md) to set any of these permanently.

<!-- kapitan-flags:command:inventory -->
