jinks edit [abbrev]

Change the configuration of an existing application. If no application is provided, you are prompted to select from the installed applications. After editing, the application is updated by running the generator.

bash
jinks edit my-app

Arguments

  • [abbrev] — Application to edit. When omitted, you are prompted to select an installed application.

Options

  • -s, --server <address> — Server address. Defaults to http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/jinks (or $JINKS_SERVER).
  • -u, --user <username> — Username. Defaults to tei (or $JINKS_USER).
  • -p, --password <password> — Password. Defaults to simple (or $JINKS_PASSWORD).
  • -e, --edit — Use a text editor rather than interactive prompts to modify the configuration.
  • -q, --quiet — Do not print the banner.
  • -r, --reinstall — Fully reinstall the application, overwriting existing files.
  • -a, --all — Ignore the last-modified date and check every file for changes.
  • -y, --confirm-breaking — Proceed with updates that include breaking profile version changes without prompting (sends confirm=true to the generator API).

Examples

Edit with interactive application selection:

bash
jinks edit

Edit a specific application:

bash
jinks edit my-tei-app

Edit in your $EDITOR instead of the interactive prompts:

bash
jinks edit my-tei-app --edit
