dotweave init
Initialize a new sync directory or connect to an existing one.
Initialize the git-backed sync directory.
Create or connect the sync directory under your dotweave app-data directory, then store the sync settings used by later pull and push operations. If you omit the repository argument, dotweave initializes a local git repository in the sync directory.
Usage
dotweave init [repository]Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
[repository] | Remote URL or local git repository path to clone. Optional — when omitted, a new local repository is created. |
Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--key-file <path> | Read an age private key from a file. |
--force | Replace existing local sync repository, identity, and settings before initializing. |
Examples
Initialize a fresh local sync directory:
dotweave initClone a remote repository as the sync directory:
dotweave init https://github.com/user/dotfiles.git --key-file ~/dotweave.agekeyInitialize with an existing age secret key:
dotweave init --key-file ~/dotweave.agekeyTip
If you pass a repository to dotweave init, provide the existing age private key with --key-file or enter it at the interactive prompt so dotweave can decrypt your secret files.
