+Manipulates session settings, which are temporary settings that do not persist past the current sbt execution (that is, the current session).
+Valid commands are:
+
+clear, clear-all
+	Removes temporary settings added using 'set' and re-evaluates all settings.
+	For 'clear', only the settings defined for the current project are cleared.
+	For 'clear-all', all settings in all projects are cleared.
+
+list, list-all
+	Prints a numbered list of session settings defined.
+	The numbers may be used to remove individual settings or ranges of settings using 'remove'.
+	For 'list', only the settings for the current project are printed.
+	For 'list-all', all settings in all projets are printed.
+
+remove <range-spec>
+	<range-spec> is a comma-separated list of individual numbers or ranges of numbers.
+	For example, 'remove 1,3,5-7'.
+	The temporary settings at the given indices for the current project are removed and all settings are re-evaluated.
+	Use the 'list' command to see a numbered list of settings for the current project.
+
+save, save-all
+	Makes the session settings permanent by writing them to a '.sbt' configuration file.
+	For 'save', only the current project's settings are saved (the settings for other projects are left alone).
+	For 'save-all', the session settings are saved for all projects.
+	The session settings defined for a project are appended to the first '.sbt' configuration file in that project.
+	If no '.sbt' configuration file exists, the settings are written to 'build.sbt' in the project's base directory."""
