how to change civicrm settings from command line?

Question

There are some common settings to change for dev sites at mycivi.localhost/civicrm/admin/setting/debug. How can those be changed from the command line?

A better answer for the question How should I copy a site from production to staging? would include this information I think.

I see on https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/misc/staging-production/ that $civicrm_setting['domain']['environment'] = 'Development'; can be placed in civicrm.settings.php, which I would expect would be sufficient(though it doesn't seem to affect what's displayed at /civicrm/admin/setting/debug)... but what about other settings like debugging and backtrace?

If I do drush vget I get a list of all kinds of Drupal settings that can be changed via drush vset. Does CiviCRM have a comparable utility? I tried cv and wondered if cv vars:show and cv vars:fill might be corresponding commands, but if they are I don't know how to use them to do anything useful.

You can use drush cv to update the settings in db.

eg drush cvapi Setting.create environment="Production"

You can find various options in API explorer to set other settings and see for command in cv and drush section.
