MINA(1)

📦 version 0.3.7, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💖 MINA(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for mina — yes, that's manual name MINA, section 1. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

mina — deployer and server automation tool periodt

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mina [OPTIONS] command
mina [OPTIONS] task

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so mina is a fast deploy Bash script generator, no cap. like, what it does is it generates an entire deployment procedure as a Bash script and then runs it remotely on a server — which means it's creating a single SSH session per deploy, minimizing the SSH connection overhead. one session. one vibe. 💅

and its syntax is similar to capistrano. iykyk.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

so this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below, and honestly? she ate.

  • -h, --help — Show summary of options. your lil cheat sheet 🫶
  • -V, --version — Show version of program. who even are you, exactly
  • -v, --verbose — Show commands as they are executed. main character energy: every command gets its moment on screen ✨
  • -S, --simuate — Run in simulation mode, i.e. do not perform actual changes. (yes the flag is literally spelled --simuate, i don't make the rules 🙈) it's giving "pretend, don't commit" 💀
  • -t, --trace — Show backtraces upon errors. for when you need the full lore of what went wrong 😭
  • -f FILE — Use FILE as the deploy configuration.
also heads up: -f takes an actual FILE argument, it's not just a cute little toggle. don't @ me.

🎀 COMMANDS 🎀

the following are mina specific commands, and they're all iconic in their own way:

  • help — Show summary of options.
  • init — Generate a sample configuration file for deployments in the working directory. starter pack fr fr 🌱
  • tasks — Show all rake(1) tasks provided by mina.

🌈 TASKS 🌈

so the tasks are rake(1) tasks defined by the user in a project's deployment configuration file. you're the author here, bestie, not me.

See /usr/share/doc/mina/examples/deploy.rb for an example deployment configuration.

literally go look at it. it's right there. it's free. 👑
