NAME
bif-init - create a new bif repository
VERSION
0.1.0_28 (2014-09-23)
SYNOPSIS
bif init [ITEM] [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
The bif-init command creates a new local repository in .bif/ after creating (if necessary) the system-wide user repository. bif-init does all of its work through other bif commands. They are wrapped by this command in order to simplify the most common initialization scenario, which on the command-line would look something like this:
#!sh
if [ ! -d $USER_REPO ]; then
bif init repo $USER_REPO
bif new identity --user-repo --self
fi
bif init repo .bif/
bif show identity 1 --user-repo
bif pull identity $SELF@$USER_REPO --self
See the FILES section below for the location of $USER_REPO.
Arguments & Options
- ITEM
-
One of the following sub-commands:
- repo
- hub
Note that the global --user-repo
option does not apply in the context of bif-init and is ignored.
Errors
Attempting to initialise an existing repository is considered an error.
