💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so i.target targets an imagery group to a GRASS data base project name and mapset. that's the whole job, and it eats. 💅

a project name and mapset are required for the i.rectify imagery module, into which the rectified map is written just prior to the program completing. i.target is literally what lets you, the user, specify that project. yup.

bestie listen: i.target must be run before g.gui.gcp and i.rectify. no negotiating, no cap. 🔥

👑 NOTES 👑

the module's first option asks for the name of the imagery group that needs a target. the imagery group must be present in the user's current mapset — that's the vibe check, and you gotta pass it. 🫶

an imagery group may be targeted to any GRASS project. any. so much freedom, honestly iconic.

if a group name is given without setting options, the currently targeted group will be displayed. it's giving "just tell me what you're targeting rn" 😌
