tye init - Scaffolds a tye.yaml file representing the application.
tye init [-?|-h|--help] [--force] [<PATH>]
The tye init command scaffolds a tye.yaml file to allow customizing different aspects of tye run and tye deploy.
tye init will by default scaffold each project(s) in an application. For example, if there was a solution file (sln) that contained two csproj files, the tye.yaml contents would look like:
name: application
services:
- name: project1
project: project1.csproj
- name: project2
project: project2/project2.csproj
See the tye.yaml schema to learn more about customizations that can be made to the tye.yaml file.
PATH
The path to either a file or directory to run tye init on. Can either be a yaml, sln, or project file.
--force
If a tye.yaml file is already present, overwrites it with a newly scaffolded tye.yaml.
Scaffold a tye.yaml in the current directory:
tye init
Scaffold a tye.yaml from a path to a directory:
tye init PATH_TO_DIRECTORY
Scaffold a tye.yaml from a project file (*.csproj, *.fsproj):
tye init project.csproj
Scaffold a tye.yaml from a solution file (sln):
tye init app.sln
