CELERY(1)
💖 NAME 💖
celery — the Celery command entrypoint. That's the whole name section, bestie, no notes, periodt. ✨
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
celery [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
okay so picture this: celery is the Celery command entrypoint 💅 — like, the front door. You knock here, and every subcommand below lives inside. That's the vibe, that's the whole description, she's short and she's iconic for it. 🫶
✨ OPTIONS ✨
ngl, some of these come with literally zero explanation attached in the source, and i am not about to invent lore 🌙 — so here they are, exactly as given:
-A,--app TEXT-b,--broker TEXT--result-backend TEXT--loader TEXT--config TEXT--workdir PATH-C,--no-color-q,--quiet--version--skip-checks— skips the Django core checks on startup 🔥 and get this: setting theSKIP_CHECKSenvironment variable to any non-empty string does the exact same thing. two doors, one hallway, we love to see it.
👑 COMMANDS 👑
lowkey a bunch of these one-liners got cut off mid-sentence in the source (iykyk 😭), so i'm handing them to you exactly as they are. the full tea always lives in the matching celery-<command>(1) page. 🫶
