🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea: i.target targets an imagery group to a GRASS data base project name and mapset. a project name and mapset are required for the i.rectify imagery module, and that's where the rectified map gets written just prior to completion of the program. i.target is literally the thing that lets you specify this project. 🎯

⚠️ heads up bestie: i.target must be run before g.gui.gcp and i.rectify. no skipping ahead, that's the rules. 💀

🦋 NOTES 🦋

the module's first option asks for the name of the imagery group that needs a target. and listen — the imagery group must be present in the user's current mapset. that's non-negotiable. but the glow-up? an imagery group may be targeted to any GRASS project. go wherever your heart desires. ✨

if a group name is given without setting options, the currently targeted group will be displayed. like, it'll just show you where things stand. cute, right? 🎀
