Gsettings

gsettings is a command-line interface used to manage and configure settings stored in the GSettings system, which is part of the GObject-based GNOME framework. gsettings interacts with the dconf database, which is the backend storage for these settings, allowing users to query, modify, and reset configurations related to desktop environments, applications, and system settings.
