💖 NAME 💖

incus-profile-edit — bestie, this is the glow-up command for editing profile configurations as YAML. It lives in the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, section 1, and it is literally the main character of profile tweaking. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

incus profile edit [:] [flags]

Yes that's the whole vibe. That [:] is doing its little thing, don't question it. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Description:

Edit profile configurations as YAML ✨

Okay so basically: you point this at a profile and you get to rewrite its config in YAML. It's giving "I open the editor, I edit the YAML, I leave." No cap. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

These aren't even its flags, they're the family flags it inherited, and you're gonna want to know all of them, so here's the whole lineup fr fr:

  • --debug[=false] — spills ALL the debug messages. Every last one. 🌈
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, it explains the parsed arguments instead of actually running the thing. It's the "read the instructions before you press the button" option. 🙈
  • --force-local[=false] — forces using the local unix socket. Local only, no detours. 🔥
  • -h, --help[=false] — prints help. The "explain urself" button. 💖
  • --project="" — overrides the source project. ✨
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. Silent mode. Shhh. 💀
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use this together with help or --help to view sub-commands. 👀
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — shows all information messages. Chatty era. 🗣️
  • --version[=false] — prints the version number. 🎀

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

incus profile edit <profile> < profile.yaml
    Update a profile using the content of profile.yaml

Notice the input redirection, bestie — the content of profile.yaml gets piped in and becomes the profile's new config. Iconic. 🌺

Heads up girlypop: this page is auto generated, so if something looks a lil funky in the formatting (cough cough, that one option with the stray double backticks) it's the generator's fault, not yours. 💅

Stay slay, keep your YAML valid, and may your profiles always parse on the first try. 🦋
