glx init

Initialize a new GENEALOGIX archive in the specified directory

Synopsis

Initialize a new GENEALOGIX archive with the proper directory structure.

If a directory is provided, it will be created. If no directory is provided, the current directory will be used (but must be empty).

By default, creates a multi-file archive with separate directories for each entity type (persons/, events/, places/, etc.) along with standard vocabulary files and supporting documentation.

Use --single-file to create a single archive.glx file instead.

glx init [directory] [flags]

Examples

  # Initialize in a new directory
  glx init my-family-archive

  # Initialize a single-file archive in a new directory
  glx init my-family-archive --single-file

  # Initialize with test data in a new directory
  glx init my-family-archive --create-test-data 10

Options

  -t, --create-test-data int   number of persons to generate test data for
  -h, --help                   help for init
  -s, --single-file            create a single-file archive instead of multi-file
