dotweave init

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 <age-private-key> | Persist an age private key into the identity file. | | --promptKey | Prompt to enter an age private key instead of generating one automatically. |

Examples

Initialize a fresh local sync directory:

dotweave init

Clone a remote repository as the sync directory:

dotweave init https://github.com/user/dotfiles.git --key "AGE-SECRET-KEY-1..."

Initialize with an existing age secret key:

dotweave init --key "AGE-SECRET-KEY-1..."

Tip

If you pass a repository to dotweave init, you must also provide the existing age private key with --key or --promptKey so dotweave can decrypt your secret files.
