wf init¶

Initialise the wf workspace. Creates the workflows directory, log directory, SQLite database, and a starter config file.

Synopsis¶

wf init [flags]

Description¶

wf init is the first command to run on a new machine. It creates all required directories and files using the paths from the current configuration (defaults or overrides).

If a file or directory already exists, it is left untouched — wf init is safe to run multiple times.

What it creates¶

Flags¶

None beyond the global flags.
