I am wanting to configure a RaspberryPi without using the raspi-config gui. Is there a way to do this, or at least get raspi-config to spit out the commands its running.

If not, is there a list of the configuration files it changes so I can change them myself?

  • I don't think there is anything in raspi-config that you can't change yourself, but I doubt there is any raspi-config documentation about this, since all those things will have their own documentation. If you want to ask about something in particular, then ask a separate specific question about that (e.g., "How do I change a user password?") and mention that you don't want to use raspi-config.

  • Alternatively, open up raspi-config script in a text editor and see for yourself which options do what.

Yes, as mentioned raspi-config is a text file so you can look inside and see what it's doing or edit it to log what it's doing.

raspi-config is a giant shell script. You can open it up with a command like less $(which raspi-config), or view it in the official repo on github. At the very bottom of the file, around line 950 is the main loop. From there, scroll around to the respective do_*() function you're interested in.
