man(8)

💖 man(8) — pkgos-alioth-new-git 💖

okay bestie, welcome to section 8 of the manual, and the star of the show today is pkgos-alioth-new-git. yes it's a whole mouthful, we know, but she's worth it. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

pkgos-alioth-new-git — create a new Git repository out of your current working tree on Alioth.

like. that's the whole vibe. your current folder, but make it a git repo, on Alioth. periodt. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pkgos-alioth-new-git [-u <alioth-username>] <destination-project-path-on-alioth>

(that synopsis was wrapped across two lines in the original, but it's one single command — don't let the line break gaslight you 🙈)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This utility will use the current folder to create git repository on Alioth with the same name.

lowkey iconic behaviour honestly. you're standing in a folder, you run this, and boom 💥 — a git repository shows up on Alioth wearing the exact same name as the folder you're standing in. no cap. the folder is the blueprint, Alioth is the destination, and this script is the main character doing the carrying.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -u — use login as <alioth-username>. that's it, that's the one option, and she ate. ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

No known bugs.

ngl, a bug list that's just empty? that's the dream fr fr. we love a clean slate. 🫶

shoutout to the authors, absolute legends, we thank them for their service 🎀✨

heads up bestie: this is man(8), so it lives in the system administration corner of the manual, not the regular user corner. iykyk. 💜

and that's the whole page!! this one's from the pkgos-alioth-new-git release, version 45.0, dated 27 Apr 2016 — so yes she's a little vintage, but vintage is a lifestyle, not a flaw. 🦋🌸💖 mwah, go make that repo.
