How to get a Hydra config without using @hydra.main()
Use the Compose API: from hydra import compose, initialize from omegaconf import OmegaConf initialize(config_path=”conf”, job_name=”test_app”) cfg = compose(config_name=”config”, overrides=[“db=mysql”, “db.user=me”]) print(OmegaConf.to_yaml(cfg)) This will only compose the config and will not have side effects like changing the working directory or configuring the Python logging system.
