💖 INCUS-RENAME — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Incus manual, aka the Incus - Command line client, and today we're learning about incus-rename 💅 like literally the entire page, no skips, no gatekeeping. grab a boba, sit down, we're doing this 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

incus-rename — Rename instances 🏷️🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

incus rename [:]  [flags]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one source thingy, a : if you wanna be fancy, and some flags. iconic honestly 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Description: Rename instances

yes bestie that's genuinely the whole description. you point it at an instance, you tell it a new name, the instance gets a glow-up and a new identity. main character move fr fr 💖

🫶 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🫶

these ones aren't even its options, they're the heirlooms it inherits from the parent commands, but they absolutely still work and you deserve to know every single one. no cap, here's the full list, all nine of them, nothing skipped 🙈

  • --debug[=false] — shows you all the debug messages. every single little thought the command is having, out loud, no filter 💀
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, it explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. like it narrates its own homework instead of turning it in 😭 lowkey so useful
  • --force-local[=false] — forces it to use the local unix socket. stay home bestie, no network field trips 🌈
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the blueprint. the "wait how does this work again" button 🎀
  • --project="" — override the source project. so it's the source project we're overriding here, not something else, noted and respected 💅
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silent mode, ninja mode, "I don't need the running commentary" mode 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to view sub-commands. it's the little door inside the help menu 🚪✨
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. the opposite energy of --quiet, it wants to tell you everything 🗣️
  • --version[=false] — print version number. a little "who am I, which era of me are you running" moment ⭐
little heads up bestie: those =false bits in the brackets are the defaults, so by default none of these are switched on. you gotta ask for the drama 🌸
