Examples​

> spice init taxi-trips

2025/01/09 16:43:02 INFO Initialized taxi-trips/spicepod.yaml

The command creates a spicepod.yaml with basic initial metadata about the app. For this example, the spicepod.yaml file is initialized to the following:

# File: ./taxi-trips/spicepod.yaml

version: v1
kind: Spicepod
name: taxi-trips

If no app name is provided, Spice initializes the Spicepod in the current working directory. For example:

> spice init

name: (taxi-trips)? 
2025/01/09 16:48:37 INFO Initialized spicepod.yaml

After execution, the current working directory contains the file spicepod.yaml with the same configuration as the previous example:

# File: ./spicepod.yaml

version: v1
kind: Spicepod
name: taxi-trips
