Configure Clojure CLI tools

Clojure CLI tools are configured using a deps.edn file, written using extensible data notation (edn), the language that is used to define the structure of Clojure itself.

Levels of configuration

Configuration	Description
Command line arguments	string or edn arguments passed to the `clojure` command
`project/deps.edn`	Project specific configuration: paths, dependencies, aliases
`.clojure/deps.edn`	User level configuration that will apply to all projects
CLI tools install	Dependency for the Clojure standard library and built-in `:deps` aliases

The installation of Clojure CLI tools has a built-in configuration that contains a dependency for the Clojure standard library, effectively setting the default version of Clojure so the Clojure CLI tools can run.

.clojure/deps.edn is a user level configuration that will apply to all projects used by the operating system user account. practicalli/clojure-deps-edn is an example configuration that contains a set of unique aliases to ensure that common tools are available in every Clojure project.

Clojure CLI Tools built-in deps aliases

The :deps alias is used as the root of all built-in commands in the Clojure CLI tools.

deps aliases	Description
`clojure -X:deps tree`	download dependencies & print dependency tree, indenting libraries that are dependencies of dependencies
`clojure -X:deps mvn-pom`	generate / update `pom.xml` with the dependencies and class path for the current project
`clojure -X:deps git-resolve-tags`	update `deps.edn` git based dependencies that used tags with the equivalent SHA commit values
`clojure -X:deps mvn-install :jar '"/path/to.jar"'`	install a given jar file into the local maven repository, eg. `~/.m2/repository`
