🌸 NAME 🌸

App::Pinto::Command::init — bestie, this is the one that creates a brand new repository ✨

It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and yes, it's giving very much "let's set up your whole world from scratch" energy 💅

💖 VERSION 💖

version 0.14 — that's the one you've got, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT init [OPTIONS]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so picture this: you want a whole new repository, and this command is literally the moment it comes into existence 🔥

If the target directory doesn't exist yet, don't even stress — it gets created for you, just like that 🧚

But if it already exists, then bestie, it has to be empty. No leftover crumbs, no random files, nothing. Empty means empty 🙈

And the cute part? You can set all the configuration properties of your shiny new repository using the command line options down below 👇

👑 COMMAND ARGUMENTS 👑

The path to the repository root directory can also be handed over as an argument — and when you do that, it silently overrides the --root option. Sneaky! Lowkey iconic behavior, fr fr 💅

So these two are literally equivalent:

pinto --root=/some/directory init
pinto init /some/directory

Same thing. Different vibe. Pick your fighter 🌈

💅 COMMAND OPTIONS 💅

  • --description=TEXT — a lil brief description of the initial stack 🌸. Defaults to "the initial stack". Heads up though: this option is only allowed if the STACK argument is given — no stack, no description, periodt.
  • --no-default — do not mark the initial stack as the default stack 🙅‍♀️. And here's the tea: if you choose not to mark the default stack, then you'll be required to specify the --stack option for most commands. Annoying? A little. But you can always mark (or unmark) the default stack at any time by using the default command, so it's never a forever situation 💖
  • --recurse
  • --no-recurse

Sets the default recursion behavior for the pull add add commands 👀. --recurse means commands will be recursive by default. --no-recurse means commands will not be recursive. If you don't specify either one, it defaults to being recursive. But bestie, don't forget: each command can always override this default, so you're never locked in 🔓

  • --source=URI — the URI of the upstream repository where distributions will be pulled from 🍓. Usually this is the URI of a CPAN mirror, and it defaults to <http://cpan.perl.org> and <http://backpan.perl.org>. But it could also be a CPAN::Mini mirror, or another Pinto repository. Versatile queen 👑

You can specify multiple repository URIs by repeating the --source option 🔁. Repositories that appear earlier in the list have priority over those that appear later. See Pinto::Manual for more information about using multiple upstream repositories 📚

  • --stack=NAME — sets the name of the initial stack 🌟. Stack names must be alphanumeric plus hyphens, underscores, and periods — and they are not case-sensitive. Defaults to "master" 👑
