App::P...d::look(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Bestie, welcome to App::Pinto::Command::look — the part of Pinto (that's the App::Pinto manual, mwah) that unpacks distributions and lets you poke around inside them with your shell. It's giving digital archaeology 🔍💖

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.14 — yes she's a specific girlie 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT look [OPTIONS] TARGET ...

That's the whole vibe. --root tells her where the repo lives, look is the move, then your TARGETs and any [OPTIONS] you're feeling. Periodt. ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — this command unpacks one or more distributions and lets you explore what's inside using your own shell. Iconic behavior, truly. It's lowkey the move when you wanna manually inspect a distribution before use — like, peek behind the curtain before you commit, y'know? 🎀

At present, this command only works with local repositories and distributions that are already in the repository. No remote nonsense, no fetching from the wild — she's a homebody. 🏠

At present, this command only works with local repositories. (Yes bestie, the original says it twice, and honestly? Double the emphasis. No cap.)

🍓 COMMAND ARGUMENTS 🍓

The arguments are the targets you wanna look at. Targets can be specified as packages or distributions, like so:

Some::Package
Some::Other::Package

AUTHOR/Some-Dist-1.2.tar.gz
AUTHOR/Some-Other-Dist-1.3.zip

See how the distribution ones have that full AUTHOR/filename energy? Chef's kiss 👑

You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN 🫶. And when you do, blank lines and lines that look like comments — that's lines starting with "#" or ';' — will be ignored. So go ahead and get a lil carried away with the commentary, she won't judge.

---

💅 COMMAND OPTIONS 💅

• --stack=NAME, -s NAME — Resolve package targets against the stack with the given NAME. Defaults to the name of whichever stack is currently marked as the default stack. For distribution targets (i.e. those specified with a complete AUTHOR/filename) the --stack option has no effect. Sorry babe, it just doesn't. 💀

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

• PINTO_SHELL — Sets the path to the command Pinto will use for the interactive shell. If this is not set, Pinto defaults to either SHELL or COMSPEC. Pick your fighter 🥊✨
