## cloudquery validate-config

Validate config

### Synopsis

Validate configuration without requiring any credentials or connections. This will not validate the tables specified in the tables list. This validation is stricter than the validation done during `sync`, but if it passes this validation it will pass the sync validation.

```
cloudquery validate-config [files or directories] [flags]
```

### Examples

```
# Validate configs
cloudquery validate-config ./directory
# Validate configs from directories and files
cloudquery validate-config ./directory ./aws.yml ./pg.yml

```
