NAME
bk setuptool − graphical front-end to the BitKeeper
setup command
SYNOPSIS
bk setuptool [directory]
DESCRIPTION
The bk setuptool command is a graphical interface for
creating new BitKeeper repositories.
The purpose of the tool is to help you enter all of the information needed to create a repository by stepping you through a series of input forms and prompts.
You will be prompted for additional information that will be stored in the config file for the repository. Different types of repositories will require slightly different sets of data.
After all information has been entered you will have a chance to review the information that will be put into the config file before the repository is created. When the repository is created, the config file is stored as a normal revision controlled file so that you may go back and edit the file at a later date.
If you will be creating several repositories that will use the same configuration information (such as contact information) you may create a system-wide default config file in /etc/BitKeeper/etc/config.template. This has the same format as a regular config file. bk setuptool will look for this file and, if found, use the data in the file to set the default values when creating a new repository.
EXAMPLES
To create a repository named /projects/helloworld,
you type the following command:
bk setuptool /projects/helloworld
This will prompt you for information to place in the config file and then create a project hierarchy rooted at /projects/helloworld. The config file with the data you entered is in /projects/helloworld/BitKeeper/etc/config.
You do not need to include the name of a directory on the command line. If you do not include it you will be required to enter a name during one of the configuration steps.
BINDINGS
ENTER Perform the default action, which is
either to go to the next step, or create the repository if
on the final step.
TAB Moves between input fields.
You may also use your system’s cut, copy and paste keys in the input fields.
