bk setuptool(7.3ce) BitKeeper User's Manual bk setuptool(7.3ce) 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 Bit- Keeper 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 repos- itory 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.tem- plate. This has the same format as a regular config file. bk setup- tool 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 follow- ing 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/Bit- Keeper/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. SEE ALSO bk config-etc bk setup CATEGORY GUI-tools Repository BitKeeper Inc 1E1 bk setuptool(7.3ce)
