BLAZE-INIT(1)

✨ BLAZE-INIT ✨

okay bestie, welcome to blaze-init 💖 this is the little command that lives in the BlazeBlogger documentation family, and it's literally the first thing you run when you want a blog to exist. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

blaze-init — creates or recovers a BlazeBlogger repository 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

blaze-init [-fqV] [-b directory]

blaze-init -h|-v

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: blaze-init either spins up a brand new BlazeBlogger repository from scratch, or it recovers one you already have in case it got corrupted (we don't talk about how it got corrupted, it's fine, we're healing 💅).

and if you want, it can also revert your configuration and default templates back to their original state — while leaving all your user data (that means both blog posts and pages, okay?) completely intact. your content stays. periodt. 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -b directory, --blogdir directory — lets you pick which directory the BlazeBlogger repository gets placed in. if you don't say anything, the default is literally just the current working directory. lowkey convenient.
• -f, --force — reverts existing configuration, theme, and language files back to their initial state. by default these files are kept intact, so this is you being like "no, actually, reset it." 🔥
• -q, --quiet — turns off all the unnecessary messages. she's silent, she's mysterious.
• -V, --verbose — turns on all the messages, including a whole list of created files. she's an over-sharer and we love her for it. 🗣️
• -h, --help — shows you usage info and then exits.
• -v, --version — shows you version info and then exits.

---

💜 EXAMPLE USAGE 💜

create a new blog in the current directory:

~]$ blaze-init
Created a BlazeBlogger repository in .blaze.

create a new blog in ~/public_html:

~]$ blaze-init -b ~/public_html
Created a BlazeBlogger repository in /home/joe/public_html/.blaze.

revert a configuration file and default templates to their initial state:

~]$ blaze-init -f
Recovered a BlazeBlogger repository in .blaze.

or, if you're nosy and want to see exactly which files got reverted (valid, iconic behaviour):

~]$ blaze-init -fV
Created .blaze/config
Created .blaze/theme/default.html
Created .blaze/style/default.css
Created .blaze/lang/en_US
Recovered a BlazeBlogger repository in .blaze.
