NAME

blueprint-create - turn blueprints into code or save them for later

SYNOPSIS

blueprint create blueprint [-f] [-S|-P|-C] [-l] [-m msg] [-p] [-q] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

blueprint-create introspects the current sandbox to create a list of all installed packages and modified configuration files. By default, a blueprint is also generated for the base sandbox and subtracted from the blueprint of the current sandbox. This results in a more compact blueprint but if for some reason you would like to see the whole thing, the -f flag supresses this behavior.

The generated blueprint is saved as blueprint with msg and a timestamp to the DevStructure website for future use with blueprint-show(1) and blueprint-apply(1). Its URL will be indicated unless -q has been given.

If one of --sh, --puppet, or --chef is given, POSIX shell code, a Puppet module, or a Chef cookbook will be generated and its filename will be printed to stdout.
