    Description

      Qt Creator saves its global settings in the qtcreator.ini and other .xml files.

      sdktool can be used to change some of .xml files, but there is no option to change the qtcreator.ini from command line for example.

      Qt Creator has some cli functionality, but reading / saving settings is not present.

      Alternatively having support for environment variables can help configure Qt Creator behaviour globally or per project via a CMakeLists.txt.shared file like:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE QtCreatorProject>
<qtcreator>
  <data>
  <variable>ProjectExplorer.Project.PluginSettings</variable>
  <valuemap type="QVariantMap">
   <valuelist type="QVariantList" key="ProjectExplorer.Project.Environment">
    <value type="QString">QTC_CMAKE_USE_JUNCTIONS=1</value>
   </valuelist>
  </valuemap>
 </data>
 <data>
  <variable>Version</variable>
  <value type="int">22</value>
 </data>
</qtcreator>
