SVK::Co...:Propset(3)

💖 SVK::Command::Propset 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about SVK::Command::Propset from the SVK::Command family — yes, that's the 3-section manual page, and no, it is not boring, it is literally the glow-up your versioned paths have been waiting for 🦋

this one does exactly one job and does it flawlessly: it sets a property on a path. that's it. that's the whole vibe. property, meet path. path, meet property. slay ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SVK::Command::Propset — Set a property on path 💅

like, no cap, that's the entire mission statement. one property, one path, endless main character energy 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the summoning circle, copy it exactly bestie, characters are sacred:

propset PROPNAME PROPVAL [DEPOTPATH | PATH...]

so you hand it a PROPNAME, you hand it a PROPVAL, and then you point it at either a DEPOTPATH or a whole lil lineup of *PATH...*s and it goes to work 🧚

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay this is the part where the girlies always get lost, so let's go one by one, no skipping, every single flag is getting its moment 🌈

• -R [--recursive] — descend recursively. yes queen, go all the way down, every subdirectory is getting the treatment 🫶
• -r [--revision] REV — act on revision REV instead of the head revision. sometimes you don't want the newest thing, you want that thing, and that is valid 💜
• --revprop — operate on a revision property (use with -r). heads up: this one is a duo, it wants to be paired with -r, so don't leave it out there alone 😭
• -m [--message] MESSAGE — specify commit message MESSAGE. say what you did, bestie, future you will be so grateful 📝
• -F [--file] FILENAME — read commit message from FILENAME. same energy as -m except the message is living in a file instead of your keyboard 🍓
• --template — use the specified message as the template to edit. it's giving "here's a starting point, now make it yours" ✨
• --encoding ENC — treat the -m/-F value as being in charset encoding ENC. because not every message is UTF-8 and we respect that 🌍
• -P [--patch] NAME — instead of commit, save this change as a patch. sometimes you're not ready to commit, you're just... sketching. we've all been there 🙈
• -S [--sign] — sign this change. put your name on it, it's your work, own it 👑
• -C [--check-only] — try operation but make no changes. a little dress rehearsal, a vibe check, nothing gets committed, nothing gets hurt 🔍
• -q [--quiet] — print as little as possible. for when you want the results without the commentary 🤫
• --direct — commit directly even if the path is mirrored. lowkey powerful, use it with intention, because it goes straight in regardless of the mirror situation 💀

ngl bestie, that's a lot of flags and they all stack — read them carefully before you commit to a commit, iykyk 🎀
