as the title says, is there a way to add shared config variables to a pipeline that has been created using the cli via a yml file without using the GUI?

Hello and welcome to the Codefresh community!

Yes it is possible. You can just use the codefresh cli to add/edit entries under the “contexts” fields  
in the pipeline definition

[Codefresh API · Codefresh | Docs](https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/integrations/codefresh-api/#spec-fields) (see the `contexts` field description)

For editing shared configuration entries with the CLI, this is also possible [Codefresh CLI Documentation](https://codefresh-io.github.io/cli/contexts/create-context/)

Let me know if you need more clarifications.
