The init command

Run dispat init to write a starter config file into your --root directory. dispat creates a dispat.json file and exits. Pass the --format flag to generate a dispat.yaml or dispat.toml file instead.

You do not need an existing config file to run this command. Your --root must be a git repository root containing a .git directory. dispat places the config file next to .git to establish the effective monorepo root, and fails if the directory is missing.

dispat never overwrites your work. The command throws an error if a config file already exists in the target directory.

Flags

In addition to the global flags:

Flag	Default	Effect
--format	json	Sets the config file format to write (json, yaml, or toml). This flag applies to init only.
