lux-cli-path-init(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is lux-cli-path-init, from the General Commands Manual (section 1). Official job: Generate a LUA_INIT expression for the lux loader. (not formatted as a shell command). That’s the whole assignment, bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lux-cli path init [--server] [--extra-servers] [--namespace] [--lua-dir] [--lua-version] [--tree] [--cache-dir] [--data-dir] [--variables] [--profile] [--verbose] [--no-progress] [--no-prompt] [--preset] [--nvim] [--no-tfa] [--timeout] [--max-jobs] [--no-luarc] [--no-wrap-bin] [--user-agent] [-h|--help]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This command generates a LUA_INIT expression for the lux loader. And bestie, clock the parentheses: it is not formatted as a shell command. It’s giving “loader expression,” not “shell script realness.” 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay here’s the full flag buffet, no skips, no cap:

• --server <server> — Fetch rocks/rockspecs from this server (takes priority over config file). This one wins over the config file, highkey. 👑
• --extra-servers <extra-server> — Fetch rocks/rockspecs from these servers in addition to the main server (overrides any entries in the config file). Extra-server energy, and it overrides config-file entries.
• --namespace <namespace> — Specify the luarocks server namespace to use. Niche but needed.
• --lua-dir <prefix> — Specify the directory in which to install Lua if not found. If Lua isn’t found, this is where you tell it to install.
• --lua-version <ver> — Which Lua installation to use. Pick your fighter:
  • Valid versions are: '5.1', '5.2', '5.3', '5.4', '5.5', 'jit' and 'jit52'.
  • If not set, Lux will attempt to detect the Lua version:
    • From the current project, if it has an exact Lua version requirement.
    • From the Lua installation that is available on the PATH.
• --tree <tree> — Which tree to operate on. In a workspace, this can be used to specify a detached workspace tree. Detached-tree moment.
• --cache-dir <cache-dir> — Specifies the cache directory, e.g. for luarocks manifests. Cache go brr.
• --data-dir <data-dir> — Specifies the data directory, in which the default user install tree resides (e.g. ~/.local/share/lux). That path is literally ~/.local/share/lux.
• --variables <variable> — Override config variables. Example: lx -v "LUA=/path/to/lua" .... Variable-override realness.
• --profile <profile> — The build profile to use when compiling packages. Default: release.
  • Possible values:
    • release
    • dev
• --verbose — Display verbose output of commands executed, enabling DEBUG logs. To enable TRACE logs, set RUST_LOG=trace. Debug now, TRACE with that env var.
• --no-progress — Don’t print any progress bars or spinners. Minimalist era.
• --no-prompt <NO_PROMPT> — Skip prompts, selecting the default option. Prompting is enabled by default in terminal/TTY environments.
  • Possible values:
    • true
    • false
• --preset <preset> — Configure Lux for a specific environment. Valid presets are: 'nvim'.
  • Possible values:
    • nvim: Configure Lux for Neovim plugins
• --nvim — [DEPRECATED] Configure lux for installing Neovim packages. Use --preset nvim instead. This one is deprecated, so use the preset, bestie. ⚠️
• --no-tfa — Disable prompts for two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. It is strongly recommended to enable 2FA instead see (https://luarocks.org/settings/two-factor-auth). Like, please enable 2FA — the recommendation is strong.
• --timeout <seconds> — Timeout on network operations, in seconds. 0 means no timeout (wait forever). Default is 30. So 0 = eternal waiting vibes.
• --max-jobs <MAX_JOBS> — Maximum buffer size for parallel jobs, such as downloading rockspecs and installing rocks. 0 means no limit. Default is 0. Zero means no limit, bestie.
• --no-luarc — Do not generate or update a .luarc.json file when building a project. No luarc updates, periodt.
• --no-wrap-bin — Do not wrap Lua bin scripts. Bin scripts stay unwrapped.
• --user-agent <USER_AGENT> — The user agent to set when making web requests. Default is "lux/<version>". Web-request fit check.
• -h, --help — Print help (see a summary with '-h'). Helpful help is helpful.

cute sign-off: footer source is init, the manual is lux-cli-path-init(1), and there is no date printed on this page — so I’m not making one up, bestie. Bye! 💖✨🎀
