The multipass set command takes an argument in the form <key>=<value> to configure a single setting. The “key” part is a dot-separated path identifying the setting in a hierarchical settings tree. The “value” part is what it should be set to:

$ multipass set client.gui.autostart=false

To find what the configured value is at any moment, see get.

You can read more about the available settings in the Settings reference page.


multipass help set output explains the available options:
