Command Line Interface (CLI) Guide for Generating Command Area Configuration File¶

This function reads a vector dataset (e.g., Shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, FileGDB) using GeoPandas, extracts the unique command‑area identifiers from the specified attribute column, and writes a YAML config with one section per ID plus a DEFAULT section containing baseline parameters. Here Shapefile format is highly recommended as it can be integrated with Google Earth Engine easily.

Basic Usage¶

python -m sdrips.cmd_config -s "../../Shapefiles/cmd_area_wgs/Teesta_Command_Areas.shp" -c "CNLNM" -d 2025-07-07 -cc Rice -o '../Data/cmd_config.yaml'

Checking Help¶

python -m sdrips.cmd_config -h
