cURL - Set a default user agent

Coding Help

Hello,

I use curl’s CLI tools quite a bit and was wondering if there is a way to set a default user agent other than “curl/7.4.2”. I know about -A, but adding that to your request every time can be a bit of a pain.

Here’s how to set such an option in a config file https://ec.haxx.se/cmdline/cmdline-configfile#default-config-file

That worked! Create a .curlrc file with the following:

user-agent = "Anything"
