codemesh init

#Syntax

codemesh init [workspace-root]

#Purpose

Create CodeMesh home, the local SQLite database, and agent storage for one workspace root.

When workspace-root is omitted, CodeMesh resolves the workspace from the current directory. When CODEMESH_HOME is set, state is written there instead of the user's normal CodeMesh home.

#Safe Example

demo="$(mktemp -d)"
export CODEMESH_HOME="$demo/codemesh-home"
workspace="$demo/workspace"

mkdir -p "$workspace"
codemesh init "$workspace"

#Current Limitations

• Initializes local state only.
• Does not register remote machines, start a daemon, sync manifests, or create placeholders.
• Does not read, write, or materialize secret values.
