alca init#

Initialize Alcatraz configuration in current directory

Synopsis#

Initialize Alcatraz by creating a .alca.toml configuration file in the current directory with default settings.

When called with a git+ argument, downloads preset configuration files from a git repository. Use –template/-t to select a template non-interactively (e.g., –template alpine). Use –update to refresh previously downloaded preset files to their latest versions.

The –template and –update flags are mutually exclusive.
