comfy manager clear                    # Clear startup actions

Update

bash

comfy update comfy                     # Update ComfyUI only

Other commands

bash
comfy env                              # Show config and paths
comfy --version                        # Print CLI version

Config

Location:

  • Linux: ~/.config/comfy-cli/config.ini
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/comfy-cli/config.ini
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Local\comfy-cli\config.ini
Keys: default_workspace, default_launch_extras, civitai_api_token, hf_api_token

Tips

  • --skip-prompt for non-interactive mode (CI/scripts)
  • Background mode tracks PID for clean comfy stop
  • Snapshots preserve exact node versions for reproducibility
  • comfy node bisect binary-searches to find which node broke your setup
  • PR cache avoids rebuilding frontend PRs you've tested before
