🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so kernel-config-manager is the command that keeps track of all the different versions of your project's .config file 👑. It gives you the save, load, remove, and list operations for those files — that's the whole kit and caboodle 🫶.

and the lil plot twist? if you don't pass any parameter at all, kernel-config-manager will just list all the configs under kw's management for you. no arguments, no problem, it's giving helpful fr fr ✨

Note (pay attention bestie 🫶): this feature has interoperability with the kw env feature. slay.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --save <name> [-d <description>] [-f | --force] — this one takes a snapshot of the .config file sitting in your current folder and tucks it into kw's management system under whatever <name> you gave it 📸. wanna add a lil note about what this config even is? hit the -d flag with your description 💬. and here's the tea: if you try to add another config using a name that's already being managed, kw will throw a warning at you — <pink>-f</pink> shuts that warning up 💅.
• -l, --list — lists every .config file version you've got available 📋. this is also the default behavior when you specify no option at all, so honestly it's the main character of this whole page 👑.
• --get <name> [-f | --force] — grabs a copy of the config file with the <name> you provided and drops it right in your current directory 🎁. heads up though: this operation overwrites your current .config file, so kw shows you a warning first 😭. <pink>-f</pink> suppresses that warning and carries on with any destructive operations — so use it with intention, bestie, no cap 💀.
• -r <name> [-f | --force], --remove <name> [-f | --force] — removes the config labeled <name> from kw's management system 🗑️. since this operation removes a .config file from kw management, a warning gets shown first. <pink>-f</pink> suppresses the warning and carries on any destructive operations — periodt.
• --fetch [(-o | --output) <filename>] [-f | --force] [--optimize] [--remote [<remote>:<port>]] — fetches a .config file from a target machine straight into your current directory 🛰️. if there's already another config hanging out in that directory, kw asks you whether you wanna replace it or not. <pink>-f</pink> suppresses that warning and carries on with any destructive operations 🔥. --output lets you name the config file yourself, and --optimize runs make localmodconfig so you get a config that's optimized for the target machine ✨. (--remote [<remote>:<port>] is right there in the synopsis for pointing at your target 🎀.)
• --verbose — verbose mode makes the kw program spill out debug messages so you can track its progress 🐛. this is highkey iconic during debugging, since it makes spotting possible errors way easier 🔍.

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

for all of these, we're assuming the relevant fields in your configuration files (which live in .kw/ by default 🌸) have already been set up. and we highly recommend using kw config for managing your local and global configurations 🫶.

so, say you want kw to save your current .config file — run this:

cd <kernel-path>
kw k --save my_current_config

you can peep the config files kw is maintaining with:

kw k --list

and if you wanna fetch a config from a remote machine (in this case one available at localhost:2222) as root, go ahead and run:

kw kernel-config-manager --fetch --remote root@localhost:2222

okay that's literally the whole page, bestie 💖 go forth and manage those kernels. 💅✨

<span>that's a wrap on the kw-kernel-config...nfig file manager manual — the footer is just that same title again, no version, no date, which is giving mystery 💀 but we move. 💜</span>
