The `get-config` command returns the `.watchmanconfig` for the root.
If there is no `.watchmanconfig`, it returns an empty configuration field:
```bash
$ watchman get-config .
{
"version": "2.9.9",
"config": {}
}
```
```bash
$ watchman get-config /path/to/root
{
"version": "2.9.9",
"config": {
"ignore_dirs": [
"buck-out"
]
}
}
```
Note that watchman only reads the `.watchmanconfig` file when the watch is
established. If changes are made after that point, the `get-config` response
will not reflect them.
See [Configuration Options](/watchman/docs/config.html#configuration-options)
for details on valid contents of the `config` field. Note that the values
returned by `get-config` are passed straight through from the `.watchmanconfig`
file, and thus may contain fields that are not strictly legal.
This command is available since watchman version 2.9.9.
