clawker init

Initialize clawker user settings

​
Synopsis

Creates or updates the user settings file at ~/.local/clawker/settings.yaml. This command sets up user-level defaults that apply across all clawker projects. In interactive mode (default), you will be prompted to:
  • Build an initial base image (recommended)
  • Select a Linux flavor (Debian or Alpine)
Use —yes/-y to skip prompts and accept all defaults (skips base image build). To initialize a project in the current directory, use ‘clawker project init’ instead. 
clawker init [flags]

​
Examples

  # Interactive setup (prompts for options)
  clawker init

  # Non-interactive with all defaults

​
Options

  -h, --help   help for init
  -y, --yes    Non-interactive mode, accept all defaults

​
Options inherited from parent commands
