Init

To first initialize your credentials after installing run:

blink init

You will be prompted to add a hostname (will be https://app.blinkops.com by default unless Blink is run locally within the org) and an API-key

✔ Hostname: https://app.dev.blinkops.com
✔ Blink API Key (Obtain key by accessing https://app.dev.blinkops.com/api/v1/apikey in your browser)

If you wish to use a pre-defined configuration, you can specify a file path by setting the --config flag when running blink init Example:

blink init --config ./config.json

At a minimum you should set the following values in your config file.

{
  "hostname": "<blink-address>", 
  "blink-api-key": "<apikey>",
  "scheme": "https"
}

Usage

blink [command]

Workspaces

By default, blink uses the workspace specified in your config file. If a workspace is not set in your config file, or you would like to use a different workspace than the one set, use the --workspace flag.
