## git-bug bridge configure

Configure a new bridge.

### Synopsis

	Configure a new bridge by passing flags or/and using interactive terminal prompts. You can avoid all the terminal prompts by passing all the necessary flags to configure your bridge.
	Repository configuration can be made by passing either the --url flag or the --project and --owner flags. If the three flags are provided git-bug will use --project and --owner flags.
	Token configuration can be directly passed with the --token flag or in the terminal prompt. If you don't already have one you can use the interactive procedure to generate one.

```
git-bug bridge configure [flags]
```
