mise bootstrap dotfiles add

• Usage: mise bootstrap dotfiles add [FLAGS] [TARGET]…
• Effect: modifies state
• Source code: src/cli/dotfiles/add.rs

Add or update dotfiles in [dotfiles]

If the target is already managed, this updates its source from the live target. Otherwise it creates a [dotfiles] entry and seeds the source under dotfiles.root unless --source is provided. Captured entries are applied unless --no-apply is passed. Use --dry-run to preview both the source capture and config write without making those changes.

Arguments

• [TARGET]… — Targets to add or update

Flags

• --changed — Update the sources of every changed file managed in copy mode
• -f --force — Overwrite existing sources without prompting
• -g --global — Write to the global config
• -l --local — Write to the local config instead of the global config
• -m --mode <MODE> — Dotfile mode to write
• -n --dry-run — Print the config/source updates without writing anything
• --no-apply — Add the entry without applying it
• -p --path <PATH> — Write to this config file or directory
• -s --source <PATH> — Source path to use for a single target
• -y --yes — Skip the confirmation prompt
• -h --help — Print help
