flox push command

NAME

flox-push - send environment to FloxHub

SYNOPSIS

flox [<general-options>] push
     [-d=<path>]
     [-o=<owner>]
     [-f]

DESCRIPTION

Move an environment’s manifest to FloxHub or sync local changes to an environment to FloxHub.

After pushing, the remote environment can be referred to as <owner>/<name>.

A path environment contains a manifest file and lock file which are stored locally and possibly committed to version control. Pushing the environment moves the manifest and lock file to FloxHub, leaving a reference to the revision of the environment stored locally.

Once the environment has been pushed, it can be used directly with the --remote option, or it can be used and edited locally before syncing with flox push. See flox-edit(1), flox-install(1), and flox-remove(1) for editing the environment.

In the same way as a git repo, local changes to an environment that has been pushed may diverge from the environment on FloxHub if flox push is run from a different host. Passing --force to flox push will cause it to overwrite any changes on FloxHub with local changes to the environment.
