--remote option?

[julienma]

Hey,
I'm trying to use the --remote option of dokku-cli, but can't seem to understand how it works.
Is it supposed to be an option to force the git remote name (instead of using the default dokku)?

In my local git repo (published to my dokku server), I tried:

dokku --remote=dev config

Output is:

Usage:
  dokku config

Options:
  [--remote=REMOTE]

Display the app's environment variables

And nothing happens (no output) if I try:

dokku config --remote=dev

---

My local git remote is

git remote -v
dev ssh://dokku@domain.com:2000/my-app (fetch)
dev ssh://dokku@domain.com:2000/my-app (push)

And when logging directly on my dokku box:

dokku config my-app
=====> my-app config vars
DOKKU_APP_RESTORE:     1
DOKKU_DOCKERFILE_PORT: 5000
DOKKU_NGINX_PORT:      80

Also: I created the git remote manually (git remote add dev ssh://dokku@domain.com:2000/my-app).
Is there any dokku's --remote option I'm not aware of, to use when creating an app?

Sorry about that. I broke the --remote flag in 0.3.0. I've just pushed a fix!

This is the correct way to use it and should work fine with 0.3.1

dokku config --remote=dev

EDIT: I've also fixed the example in the README.md and hope everything works fine for you now.

Works great now, thanks 👍

worked with config, doesn't work with run rails c )

same as @idrozd, it works with config but doesn't effect dokku run commands
