charmcraft init [options]

Summary:

Initialize a charm operator package tree and files.

This command will modify the directory to create the necessary files for a charm operator package. By default it will work in the current directory.

Available profiles are: simple: A basic kubernetes charm with lot of texts helping the developer to navigate their first charm by following the instructions.

kubernetes:
    A basic Kubernetes charm with example container.

machine:
    A basic charm but meant to be deployed in machine-based environments,
    without container requirements.

flask-framework:
    A basic Flask application charm for the 12-factor charm project.

Depending on the profile choice, Charmcraft will setup the following tree of files and directories:

.
├── charmcraft.yaml        - Charm build configuration
├── CONTRIBUTING.md        - Instructions for how to build and develop
