FREIGHT-INIT(1)

📦 version 0.3.13, in epel 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 FREIGHT-INIT 💖

okay bestie, so freight-init is literally the "initialize a Freight directory" girlie — that's her whole thing, that's her NAME. she sets up a Freight directory and she does it beautifully. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

freight init [--libdir varlib] [--cachedir varcache] [--archs archs]
[--origin origin] [--label label] [-v] [-h] -g gpg dirname

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so freight-init will set up a directory for Freight to use, no cap. it generates little baby wrappers around the original Freight commands 🎀 — like, tiny adorable shims, iconic behavior honestly.

then you take freight-add(1) and freight-cache(1) and point them at the VARLIB and VARCACHE you handed to freight init. that's the whole flow, periodt.

the benefit of using freight-init? it automates the setup of Freight for you 💅 and it configures all your data to be stored in one single directory. one directory!! main character energy, truly.

📁 config lives in dirname/etc/freight.conf — that's where it's stored, don't forget her.
