share

🤝 share · export · import

Move commands between machines, or pull a pack from a registry.

crower export [name] [-o file]
crower import <file> [--overwrite]
crower share list
crower share pull <pack>

🚩 Flags

Command	Flag	Effect
export	-o, --out	Output file path
import	--overwrite	Replace a command with the same name; drop aliases that conflict

💡 Examples

crower export -o my-workflows.toml     # everything
crower export deploy -o deploy.toml    # one command
crower import my-workflows.toml
crower import team.toml --overwrite
crower share list
crower share pull docker-setup

🔀 Name and alias collisions

Import never lets two commands share a name or an alias. If a pack entry's name or alias is already taken:

• without --overwrite, crower asks once per command; accepting renames the conflicting name or alias to x_imported (numbered if needed), declining skips that command;
• with --overwrite, a command with the same name is replaced, and a conflicting alias is dropped — taking it would silently edit the command that owns it.

Entries are processed in name order. Within one pack, a later entry that collides with an earlier one is renamed the same way, even with --overwrite, so two entries can never share a key.

share pull uses the non-overwrite path after its own confirmation.

🛰️ Registry protocol

Any HTTP server can host packs: index.json plus packs/<name>.toml. See crower-resources for examples.

Note

A pack name is a registry slug (A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ -). share pull rejects a name containing a separator or .., and the downloaded pack is written to a program-named temporary file only after you confirm the import.

Warning

An exported file contains what you typed — hosts, paths, sometimes secrets. Read it before you commit or send it, and prefer {1}-style parameters over baked-in addresses.
