milpa itself repo install

Installs a milpa repo

milpa itself repo install [options] SOURCE

Installs a milpa repo from a local directory or remote git repository into either:

• $XDG_DATA_HOME/milpa (usually $HOME/.local/share): by default, or if --user is specified, or
• $MILPA_ROOT (usually, /usr/local/lib/milpa), if --global is specified.

When SOURCE points to a local path (either a folder containing a .milpa folder, or the .milpa folder itself), milpa repo install will symlink it into the local or global repositories.

Oherwise,SOURCE will be interpreted as a git URL, and a shallow clone will be performed against the .milpa folder of the repo only.

• https://github.com/unRob/dotfiles.git would download the .milpa folder from the unRob/dotfiles github repo, using https, and prompting for credentials for private repos.
• git@git.rob.mx/unRob/dotfiles.git would download the .milpa folder from the unRob/dotfiles git repo using ssh credentials, useful for skipping credential prompts for private repos.
• ~/.dotfiles would symlink $HOME/.dotfiles/.milpa to the target. An alternative to this is to set MILPA_PATH to $HOME/.dotfiles (see milpa help docs milpa environment).

• SOURCE required - A path or git clone URL to install

• --global (bool): If specified, install the repo to $MILPA_ROOT.
• --user (bool): If specified, install the repo to ~/.local/share/milpa/repos.

• --color (bool): Always print colors to stderr. Default: true.
• --help (bool): Display help for any command.
• --no-color (bool): Disable printing of colors to stderr.
• --silent (bool): Silence non-error logging.
• --skip-validation (bool): Do not validate any arguments or options.
• --verbose (bool): Log verbose output to stderr.
