INCUS.IMAGE.ALIAS.CREATE(1)

💖 incus-image-alias-create — bestie's guide to naming ur images 💖

okay so real talk: this one lives in the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little commands in the whole CLI. it does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly. no notes. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

incus-image-alias-create — Create aliases for existing images

like... that's it. that's the whole vibe. you have an image, it's already there, and now it's getting a nickname. giving main character energy to something that was previously just a fingerprint. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

incus image alias create [:]  [flags]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Create aliases for existing images

periodt. no cap, that's literally the description, and honestly it eats. an image in Incus can be referenced by its fingerprint (long, cursed, unreadable, it's giving hash) or by an alias (short, human, iconic). this command is how you mint the second kind. 💖

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --description="" — an Image alias description so future-you (and everyone else in the group chat) knows what this alias actually is. defaults to empty string, so if you don't say anything, it stays quiet. 🙈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the ones that come down from the parent command, they're not special to this one but they're absolutely still here and still slay:

• --debug[=false] — Show all debug messages. when you want the command to overshare. 🗣️
• --explain[=false] — If the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. it tells you what it would do instead of doing it. very "let's talk about it first" of it. 💬
• --force-local[=false] — Force using the local unix socket
• -h, --help[=false] — Print help
• --project="" — Override the source project
• -q, --quiet[=false] — Don't show progress information. shhh. 🤫
• --sub-commands[=false] — Use with help or --help to view sub-commands
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Show all information messages. the opposite of --quiet, and equally valid. 🌈
• --version[=false] — Print version number

ngl bestie, every one of these defaults to false (or "" for --project), so if you don't ask for them, you don't get them. that's the whole system. 🫶
