### vmfloaty dotfile
If you do not wish to continuely specify various config options with the cli, you can have a dotfile in your home directory for some defaults. For example:
```yaml
#file at /Users/me/.vmpooler.yml
url: 'http://vmpooler.mycompany.net'
user: 'brian'
```
Now vmfloaty will use those config files if no flag was specified.
## vmpooler API
This cli tool uses the [vmpooler API](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler/blob/master/API.md).
