FREIGHT(1)

💖 FREIGHT — okay bestie, let's talk 💖

So this is the manual page for freight, living in section 1 of the manual (that's the user-commands section, iykyk) — it's a modern take on the Debian archive. Yes. Really. Let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

freight — a modern take on the Debian archive 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

freight command [...]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the whole vibe: freight programs create the files you need to serve a Debian archive. That's the job. That's the whole job. The actual serving of it? That's on your favorite HTTP server, bestie — Freight just makes the files, your web server does the whole main character thing of handing them out. 👑

Here are the little sub-command besties that come with it:

• freight-add(1) — Add a package to Freight. 🍓
• freight-cache(1) — (Re)builds package repositories. 🔥

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /etc/freight.conf, ~/.freight.conf, etc/freight.conf, .freight.conf — The default configuration files. See freight(5). 📁

---

✨ ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ✨

• FREIGHT_CONF — The pathname of an alternate configuration file. See freight(5). 🌈

---

💜 THEME SONG 💜

The New Pornographers — "All the Old Showstoppers" 🎧✨

not me putting a theme song in a manpage but honestly? taste. immaculate. no notes. 💅
