SCRIV-CREATE(1)

💖 SCRIV-CREATE 💖

okay bestie, you're in the scriv girlie corner of your terminal — specifically the create subcommand, and it does exactly one thing and does it cute. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

scriv-create — the little command that makes you a brand new changelog fragment. yes, a fragment. a lil baby changelog entry. you're gonna be such a good maintainer, i can feel it. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

scriv create [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, no positional args, no drama. 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Create a new changelog fragment. 🫶

like, that's genuinely it — that's the whole job. it spins up a fresh fragment file for you so future-you doesn't have to remember what changed three weeks ago. main character energy for your release notes, fr fr. 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --add / --no-add — okay so here's the thing, the manpage literally gives us no description for this one 😭 it's just the flag pair, sitting there, mysterious. i'm not gonna make up lore for it, so: it's a toggle, both directions exist, that's what we know. iykyk.
• --edit / --no-edit — Open the created file in your text editor. 📝 so scriv hands the fresh fragment straight to your $EDITOR and you start typing your little heart out immediately. no extra vim incantation required.
• -v, --verbosity LVL — how chatty do you want this to be? LVL has to be one of CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, or DEBUG. that's the whole menu, no substitutions, bestie. 🍓
• --config FILE — Use a custom config file. 🗂️ point it at FILE when you don't wanna use the default one and you've got your own setup going. very "i do things my way" of you honestly. 🌈

⭐ heads up: the LVL list is a closed set — CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG. if you type something freaky in there, that's on you, not on me.

🎀 also: --add/--no-add ships with zero description in the original docs, so i'm not inventing one. some mysteries are meant to stay mysterious. 💀
