GBrowse2(1)

📦 version 2.56, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing

🎀 GBrowse2(1) — like, the whole vibe 🎀

okay bestie, you found the GBrowse2(1) manual page, and honestly? it's a whole snack. it's filed under USER COMMANDS, which is basically the main-character shelf of your man pages. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

scan_gbrowse — scan the gbrowse2 instance for discoverable tracks 💅

like... it goes and finds the tracks for you. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

scan_gbrowse [ --cache cachetime] URL url GBrowse URL to scan [--cache cachetime] Cache the results in a temporary file for cachetime seconds

that's the whole thing, copied exactly, character for character, because I do not play with literal syntax 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea. scan_gbrowse scans the gbrowse2 instance sitting at <gbrowse_url> and hunts down all the discoverable tracks chilling in there. 👑

then — and this is the slay part — it builds you the appropriate remote track configuration stanzas, the ones that are suitable for incorporation into your local gbrowse2 config file. so you're not out here hand-writing stanzas like it's 2009. it's giving helpful. it's giving generous. it's giving automation. 🧚

lowkey the move here: point it at a URL, get config stanzas back, drop them in your local config. that's the whole loop, bestie. 🌈
