blaze-init1

Usage

Overview

blaze-init either creates a fresh new BlazeBlogger repository, or recovers an existing one in case it is corrupted. Optionally, it can also revert a configuration and default templates to their original state, leaving all user data (that is, both blog posts and pages) intact.

Options

-b directory, --blogdir directory

Allows you to specify a directory in which the BlazeBlogger repository is to be blaced. The default option is a current working directory.

-f, --force

Reverts existing configuration, theme, and language files to their initial state. By default, these files are kept intact.

-q, --quiet

Disables displaying of unnecessary messages.

-V, --verbose

Enables displaying of all messages, including a list of created files.

-h, --help

Displays usage information and exits.

-v, --version

Displays version information and exits.

Example usage

Create a new blog in a current directory:

  ~]$ blaze-init
  Created a BlazeBlogger repository in .blaze.

Create a new blog in ~/public_html:

  ~]$ blaze-init -b ~/public_html
  Created a BlazeBlogger repository in /home/joe/public_html/.blaze.

Revert a configuration file and default templates to their initial state:

  ~]$ blaze-init -f
  Recovered a BlazeBlogger repository in .blaze.

Or if you want to see what files have been reverted:

  ~]$ blaze-init -fV
  Created .blaze/config
  Created .blaze/theme/default.html
  Created .blaze/style/default.css
  Created .blaze/lang/en_US
  Recovered a BlazeBlogger repository in .blaze.
