📦 version 0.21.3-Beta, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 AEROSPACE-RELOAD-CONFIG(1) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the aerospace-reload-config page from the AeroSpace Manual. yes it's a whole manpage, yes it's giving ✨reference material✨, but I promise it's short and it's lowkey important. grab a boba, let's go 🧚

🌸 NAME 🌸

aerospace-reload-config — reload currently active config. that's it. that's the vibe. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

aerospace reload-config [-h|--help] [--no-gui] [--dry-run] [--warnings-as-errors]

like, that's the whole thing. four flags, one command, main character energy 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

aerospace reload-config reloads the config that's currently active. simple, iconic, does what it says on the tin 🎀

but here's the tea 🍓: if your config has errors in it, those errors get printed to stdout, and a GUI window pops open to show you the errors. so everyone knows. no hiding. the diagnostics window is basically your config doing a public vibe check on itself 😭

by default, warnings are written to stderr and they do not open the diagnostics window — they're just lil whispers, no drama, no popup 🫶

but if you pass --warnings-as-errors, warnings get promoted to full error status, fr fr: they're written to stdout, they show up in the diagnostics window, and the exit code comes back non-zero. warnings stop being cute little notes and start being a whole situation 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — prints help. the classic. the "wait what does this do again" button 🫶
  • --no-gui — don't open the GUI to show errors. only use stdout to report them. for the terminal purists, the introverts, the "I don't want windows popping up on my screen" girlies ✨
  • --dry-run — validate the config and show errors (if there are any) but don't actually reload the config. it's a taste test, not the full meal 🍓
  • --warnings-as-errors — treat warnings as errors: print them to stdout, open the GUI diagnostics window, and return a non-zero exit code. warnings said "put me in coach" and coach said "okay bet" 🔥

💜 EXIT CODES 💜

  • 0 — success 💖 the config contains no errors. slay. ate. no notes.
  • non-zero exit code — failure 😭 the config contains errors. (or warnings, if you came in with --warnings-as-errors and chose chaos)
