  -n, --nonce uint                Set the next nonce of the signing account signing
  -o, --print-out                 Print out more config to pass to eval()
  -k, --push-key string           Specify the push key (defaults to signing key)
  -r, --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               The amount of coins to transfer to the repository

Arguments

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

Options

• -c, --config - Provide the repository’s governance and access control settings.

• -k, --push-key - Set the address or index of a key in the keystore to use for signing push requests.

• -r, --remote - A comma-separated list of remote URLs to add to the repository. e.g origin https://remote.com, backup https://backup-remote.com.

• --commit.amend - When set to true, a new commit will not be created whenever git attempts to sign a branch. Instead, the recent commit is amended (Default: true).

• --no-sign - If 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 execution process (e.g environment variable updates). The output should be passed to eval().

• -h, --help - Prints out a help message.

Transaction Options

• -f, --fee - The number of coins to pay as the network 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.

Example

• Create, initialize and configure a repository named myrepo.

kit repo init "myrepo"     \
    -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"           # set remote URL
