mate init¶

Initialize a new statemate repository

Synopsis¶

Set up the current directory as a statemate repository.

In a directory without a config, mate init writes a commented mate.yaml (or mate.toml), writes a README.md with setup instructions unless one exists, and runs git init unless the directory is already inside a git repository. It then offers to register the directory.

In a directory that already has a mate.yaml, mate.yml or mate.toml, such as a fresh clone on a new machine, it only registers the directory.

Registering writes source_dir to the local config (~/.config/statemate/mate.yaml), so mate works from any directory. Other settings in that file are kept.
