LEI-ADD-EXTERNAL(1) public-inbox user manual LEI-ADD-EXTERNAL(1) NAME lei-add-external - add inbox or external index SYNOPSIS lei add-external [OPTIONS] LOCATION DESCRIPTION Configure lei to search against an external (an inbox or external index). When "LOCATION" is an existing local path, it should point to a directory that is a "publicinbox.$NAME.inboxdir" or "extindex.$NAME.topdir" value in ~/.public-inbox/config. OPTIONS --boost=NUMBER Set priority of a new or existing location. Default: 0 --mirror=URL Create "LOCATION" by mirroring the public-inbox at "URL". "LOCATION" will have a Makefile with a "make update" target to update the external. --epoch=RANGE Restrict clones of public-inbox-v2-format(5) inboxes to the given range of epochs. The range may be a single non-negative integer or a (possibly open-ended) "LOW..HIGH" range of non-negative integers. "~" may be prefixed to either (or both) integer values to represent the offset from the maximum possible value. For example, "--epoch=~0" alone clones only the latest epoch, "--epoch=~2.." clones the three latest epochs. Default: "0..~0" or 0.. or "..~0" (all epochs, all three examples are equivalent) -v --verbose Provide more feedback on stderr. -q --quiet Suppress feedback messages. MIRRORING --torsocks=auto|no|yes --no-torsocks Whether to wrap git(1) and curl(1) commands with torsocks(1). Default: "auto" --inbox-version=NUM Force a remote public-inbox version (must be 1 or 2). This is auto-detected by default, and this option exists mainly for testing. The following options are passed to public-inbox-init(1): -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS -L LEVEL, --indexlevel=LEVEL The following options are passed to public-inbox-index(1): --batch-size=SIZE --compact -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS --max-size=SIZE --sequential-shard --skip-docdata FILES The configuration for lei resides at "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lei/config".
