💅 SKATE(1) 💅

Ok so real talk, this is the manual page for Skate, and the manual itself is literally called Skate, a personal key value store. Bestie, it's your own little key value store and it's about to be your new obsession 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

skate — Skate, a personal key value store. That's it, that's the whole name. Iconic behaviour, no notes ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

skate [options...] [argument...]

That's the whole shape of it: some options, some arguments, go off queen 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the thing — ngl, the original page just leaves this section blank. Nothing. Empty. It's giving mysterious main character energy 🙈 like the manpage version of a text with no context. So there's genuinely nothing to tell you here, no cap. Everything useful lives down in OPTIONS and COMMANDS, so scroll on down, bestie 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --store — the path to the Skate store. Defaults to SKATE_STORE, or falls back to the user data directory if you didn't set that. So like, you can tell it where to live, but it's got a backup plan either way 🔥
