✨ NAME ✨

git-pkgs-notes-add — bestie, this is the one that adds a note to a package 🎀

(also hi, welcome to the Git Pkgs Manual 💖 you're gonna love it here)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git-pkgs notes add  [flags]

okay so that's literally the whole summoning ritual, flags optional, vibes immaculate 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this does: it creates a new note for a package. Fresh note, new beginnings, main character energy ✨

But listen — it errors if a note already exists for the purl+namespace unless you pass --force. Like it will genuinely throw hands. So if you're getting an error, that's not a bug, that's the note being like "girl I'm already here" 😭

ngl the purl+namespace combo is the whole personality check here. Same purl + same namespace + note already exists = no entry without --force. Periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --force[=false] — overwrite an existing note. The "I said what I said" flag 🔥 default is false, so you gotta opt in.
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for add. Your little safety net 🫶
  • -m, --message="" — the note message itself. Empty by default (""), so go ahead and actually say something 💬
  • --namespace="" — note namespace, for categorization. Keep your notes cute and organized 🎀 defaults to "".
  • --origin="git-pkgs" — the tool or system that created this note. Defaults to "git-pkgs" — iconic of it, honestly 👑
  • --set=[] — set a metadata key=value pair. Starts as an empty list [] so stack 'em up if you want 🌈

🧚 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧚

These come from the parent command, so they're just kinda inherited, iykyk 💜

  • --color="auto" — when to colorize output. Your choices: auto, always, never 🌸 default "auto".
  • --include-submodules[=false] — include git submodules when scanning for manifests. Default false, flip it if your submodules deserve love too 🦋
  • -p, --pager[=false] — use pager for output. Default false. Great for when the output is a whole saga 😭
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — suppress non-essential output. Default false. For when you simply cannot with the chatter 💀
