RESTIC-MIGRATE(1)

✨ restic-migrate(1) ✨

okay bestie, this is the page for restic migrate — straight out of the restic backup(1) manual family 🎀 so like, yes, the manual name up top says backup, and the footer says backup, but the actual star of the show is restic-migrate. we move.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

restic-migrate — apply migrations 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

restic migrate [flags] [migration name] [...]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: the migrate command 👑 looks at your repository and figures out which migrations can be applied, then prints you a lil list of the available migration names. no cap.

and if you actually name one or more migrations? boom, those migrations get applied. periodt. 💖

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

she tells you exactly how it went:

• exit status is 0 if the command was successful 🫶
• exit status is 1 if there was any error 😭
• exit status is 10 if the repository does not exist
• exit status is 11 if the repository is already locked
• exit status is 12 if the password is incorrect

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f, --force[=false] — apply a migration a second time. yes bestie, a second time 🔥
• -h, --help[=false] — help for migrate 🌈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the ones she got from her parent commands, and honestly? iconic. every single one:

• --http-user-agent="" — set a http user agent for outgoing http requests

heads up bestie: --insecure-no-password and --insecure-tls are literally labeled (insecure) for a reason. main character energy, but like, the risky kind 💀
