ovecc init

Sets up ovecc in a repository: writes a fully commented .ovecc/config.toml (every value shown is the default), adds .ovecc/ to .gitignore, and prints the first commands to run.

Usage: ovecc init [OPTIONS]

Example​

$ ovecc init
Wrote ~/projects/acme-shop/.ovecc/config.toml
Added .ovecc/ to .gitignore

Next steps:
  ovecc index .        build the architecture model (fully local)
  ovecc summary        one-screen health
  ovecc diagnose       named architecture smells, each with a fix
  ovecc mcp            expose every command to your coding agent

Options​

OptionEffect
--forceOverwrite an existing .ovecc/config.toml

Plus the global options.

Behavior​

  • Idempotent — running it again changes nothing unless you pass --force.
  • Optional — index works without it; run init when you want the commented config template or the automatic .gitignore entry.
  • The generated .gitignore entry covers the whole .ovecc/ directory (database + parse cache). To share governance rules with your team, change it to .ovecc/* plus !.ovecc/config.toml and commit the config — see versioning the config.

The full template it writes is reproduced in the configuration reference.
