NAME

bif-init-hub - create a new local hub repository

VERSION

0.1.0_28 (2014-09-23)

SYNOPSIS

    bif init hub [DIRECTORY] [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

The bif-init-hub command creates a new local hub repository in DIRECTORY after creating (if necessary) the system-wide user repository. Attempting to initialise an existing repository is considered an error.

bif-init-hub 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 $DIRECTORY
    bif show identity 1 --user-repo
    bif pull identity $SELF@$USER_REPO --self
    bif new hub $BASENAME $DIRECTORY --default

See the FILES section below for the location of $USER_REPO.

ARGUMENTS & OPTIONS

DIRECTORY

The location of the new hub repository.

The global --user-repo option is ignored by bif-init-hub.
