config

Configure a repository.
The config command configures a repository for easy interaction with a MakeOS remote server. The command sets sensible defaults that aim to make it easy for new users to start pushing to their remote repositories. It performs the following actions:
  • Adds a remote named origin that points to the local address of a MakeOS remote 127.0.0.1:9002.
  • Configures a signing key at user.signingKey to be used for signing git references.
  • If a passphrase for unlocking the signing key is provided, it will attempt to start a cache service and store the passphrase for 24 hours in memory.
  • Sets post-commit and pre-push git hooks for automatic signing.
  • Sets transaction information (e.g fees, nonce etc).
The command stores config options in the repository's .git/config file.

Usage

kit repo config [options] <repodir>
Usage:
kit repo config [flags] [<directory>]
Aliases:
config, set
Flags:
-f, --fee float Set the network transaction fee
-h, --help help for config
--no-hook Do not add git hooks
-n, --nonce uint Set the next nonce of the signing account signing
--pass-agent-port string Specify the port the passphrase agent will use (default "9004")
--pass-ttl string The cache duration of signing key passphrase (default "24h")
-k, --push-key string Specify the push key (defaults to signing key)
-r, --set-remote strings Set one or more remotes
-u, --signing-key string Address or index of local account to use for signing transaction
-p, --signing-key-pass string Passphrase for unlocking the signing account
-v, --value float Set transaction value

Arguments

  • repodir - Path to the repository that needs to be configured.

Options

  • -k, --push-key - Set the address or index of a key in the keystore to use for signing push requests.
  • -r, --set-remote - A comma-separated list of remote URLs to add to the repository. e.g origin https://remote.com/r/repo, backup https://backup-remote.com/ns/repo.
  • --no-hook - Prevents the command from adding git pre-push and post-commit hooks.
  • --no-sign - When set to true, hooks that enable automatic signing will not be configured (Default: false).
  • -o, --print-out - (Optional) Print’s out additional config scripts that cannot be executed from within the call process. The output is meant to be evaluated.
  • -h, --help - Prints out a help message.

Transaction Options

  • -f, --fee - The amount of coins to pay as the transaction fee. It will be deducted from the signer's account.
  • -n, --nonce - The next nonce of the signer's account (current nonce + 1).
  • -v, --value - The number of coins to transfer from the signer's account.
  • -u, --signing-key - The address or index of a key that will be used to sign the transaction.
  • -p, --signing-key-pass - The passphrase that will be used to unlock the signing key.
Passphrase Management
  • --pass-agent-port - The port the passphrase agent will use if it is started.
  • --pass-ttl - The amount of time to store the passphrase in the agent. Accepts duration in the following example format 10s, 2h, 4m.

Example

  • Configure the repository in the current working directory. The example below sets the signing key to a key at index 0 on the keystore. It sets the fee to be paid for push transactions and finally, it sets the git remote.
kit repo config \
-u=0 \ # set signing key to key at index 0
-f=1.51 \ # set fee for every push to 1.51 coins
-r="origin https://remotexyz.com/r/repo" # set remote URL
