💖 SVK::Command::Copy 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to SVK::Command::Copy(3) — that's the SVK::Command::Copy module, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages. she's giving "make a versioned copy" and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

SVK::Command::Copy — make a versioned copy. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

copy DEPOTPATH1 DEPOTPATH2
copy DEPOTPATH [PATH]

so you either copy one depot path onto another depot path, or you copy a depot path into a PATH — and that second one is optional, which is very main character of it ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the full menu, and yes, we're going through all of them, because we don't skip. ever. periodt 💖

  • -r, --revision REV — act on revision REV instead of the head revision. like, time travel but make it version control 🦋
  • -p, --parent — create intermediate directories as required. she'll build the whole path for you, no questions asked ✨
  • -q, --quiet — print as little as possible. introvert mode activated 🙈
  • -m, --message MESSAGE — specify commit message MESSAGE. say what you gotta say 👑
  • -F, --file FILENAME — read commit message from FILENAME. put the message in a file and let the file do the talking 🎀
  • --template — use the specified message as the template to edit. it's giving "starter draft, but make it yours" 💅
  • --encoding ENC — treat the -m/-F value as being in charset encoding ENC. gotta speak the right encoding, iykyk 🌈
  • -P, --patch NAME — instead of commit, save this change as a patch. lowkey genius, honestly 🔥
  • -S, --sign — sign this change. put your name on it, you earned it ✍️
  • -C, --check-only — try operation but make no changes. a little dress rehearsal, no commitment 🧚
  • --direct — commit directly even if the path is mirrored. no detours, straight to the commit ⭐
💀 heads up bestie: -C / --check-only literally makes no changes — it's a vibe check, not a real one. and --direct commits directly even if the path is mirrored, so know what you're doing before you hit it 🫶

that's the whole page, babe. every flag, every option, all present and accounted for 💜
