 * Hello! I have just tried WP-CLI to set a core config like
    `wp config set DISALLOW_FILE_MODS
   false`
 * However it gives the follow result
    `define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', 'false' );`
 * Because it is a string and not `false`, so it actually gives the same result 
   as `true`.
    Is there a way to specify the value data type as boolean in command
   line?

 * Hello!
 * Give this a try?
 * `wp config set DISALLOW_FILE_MODS false --raw --type=constant`
 * `--raw` will help you prevent it from being a quoted string.
 * Some more info on what `--raw` and `--type=constant` do can be found here: [https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/config/set/](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/config/set/)
 * Hope that helps!
