💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay bestie, here is the full flag menu, in order, no skipping 🫶

• -b, --build <BUILD> — pin a development dependency. Also called dev.
• --server <server> — fetch rocks/rockspecs from this server (takes priority over config file).
• -t, --test <TEST> — pin a test dependency.
• --extra-servers <extra-server> — fetch rocks/rockspecs from these servers in addition to the main server {n} (overrides any entries in the config file).
• -p, --package <PACKAGE> — project to modify.
• --namespace <namespace> — specify the luarocks server namespace to use.
• --lua-dir <prefix> — specify the directory in which to install Lua if not found.
• --lua-version <ver> — which Lua installation to use. {n} Valid versions are: '5.1', '5.2', '5.3', '5.4', '5.5', 'jit' and 'jit52'. {n} If not set, Lux will attempt to detect the Lua version: {n} - From the current project, if it has an exact Lua version requirement. {n} - From the Lua installation that is available on the PATH.
• --tree <tree> — which tree to operate on. {n} In a workspace, this can be used to specify a detached workspace tree.
• --cache-dir <cache-dir> — specifies the cache directory, e.g. for luarocks manifests.
• --data-dir <data-dir> — specifies the data directory, {n} in which the default user install tree resides {n} (e.g. ~/.local/share/lux).
• --variables <variable> — override config variables. {n} Example: lx -v "LUA=/path/to/lua" ...
• --profile <profile> — the build profile to use when compiling packages. {n} Default: release.
  • possible values:
    • release
    • dev
• --verbose — display verbose output of commands executed, enabling DEBUG logs. {n} To enable TRACE logs, set RUST_LOG=trace.
• --no-progress — don't print any progress bars or spinners.

• --preset <preset> — configure Lux for a specific environment. {n} Valid presets are: 'nvim'.
  • possible values:
    • nvim: Configure Lux for Neovim plugins
• --nvim — [DEPRECATED] Configure lux for installing Neovim packages. {n} Use --preset nvim instead.
• --no-tfa — disable prompts for two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. {n} It is strongly recommended to enable 2FA instead see (https://luarocks.org/settings/two-factor-auth).
• --timeout <seconds> — timeout on network operations, in seconds. {n} 0 means no timeout (wait forever). Default is 30.
• --max-jobs <MAX_JOBS> — maximum buffer size for parallel jobs, such as downloading rockspecs and installing rocks. 0 means no limit. Default is 0.
• --no-luarc — do not generate or update a .luarc.json file when building {n} a project.
• --no-wrap-bin — do not wrap Lua bin scripts.
• --user-agent <USER_AGENT> — the user agent to set when making web requests. Default is "lux/<version>".
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h).
• [PACKAGE_REQ] — installed package or dependency to pin. If pinning a dependency in a project, this should be the package name.
