kw-remote - Manage set of tracked test machines#

SYNOPSIS#

kw remote [-v | --verbose]
kw remote [–global] --add <name> <user>@<remote>[:<port>]
kw remote [–global] --remove <name>
kw remote [–global] --rename <old-name> <new-name>
kw remote [–global] --list
kw remote [–global] -s<name> | --set-default=<name>

DESCRIPTION#

Manage the set of test machines (“remotes”) you want kw to have easy access. This feature directly interacts with kw configuration for remote available locally at .kw/remote.config or globally at ~/.config/kw/remote.config.

OPTIONS#

--add <name> <remote-address>:

Adds a remote named <name> for the test machine at <remote-address>. Notice that <remote_address> must follow the pattern <user>@<remote>[:<port>] where remote can be an IP or a name server and :<port> is optional (default port is 22).

--remove <name>:

Remove the remote named <name>.

--rename <old-name> <new-name>:

Rename the remote named <old-name> to <new-name>. If you try a name already in use, kw will fail with a message.

--list:

List all available remotes.

--global:

Force use global config file instead of the local one.

-s<name>, --set-default=<name>:

Set default remote to remote named <name>.

-v, --verbose:

Be a little more verbose and show remote url after name.

EXAMPLES#

In case you want kw to track a new test machine, you can use:

cd <kernel-path>
kw remote --add origin root@my-test-machine

If you do not use port 22, you can use:

kw remote --add my-x86-test-system root@my-test-machine:5555

If you want to remove some remote:

kw remote --remove origin

If you want to rename:

kw remote --rename origina arm-device

You can also list all your available remotes via:

kw remote --list

If you want to set the default remote:

kw remote --set-default=new-default-remote
