would be equivalent to:

```bash
bdfr download ./path/to/output --skip mp4 --skip avi --file-scheme "{UPVOTES}_{REDDITOR}_{POSTID}_{DATE}" -L 10 -S top --subreddit EarthPorn --subreddit CityPorn
```

Any option that can be specified multiple times should be formatted like subreddit is above.
In case when the same option is specified both in the YAML file and as a command line argument, the command line
argument takes priority.

### Progress bar

When you run BDFR manually from your Terminal, if you pass `--progress-bar`, you will get a progress bar with a live summary of the results. Each downloaded image comes with its status (❌ or ✅), the number of upvotes, and title. For example:

```bash
python -m bdfr download ./example -S top -L 50 -s DataIsBeautiful --progress-bar
```

argument takes priority
