How To Use Unholy With a Project Without an Unholyfile

For reasons, you will probably need to use Unholy with a project that doesn’t have an Unholy file.

Create Your Unholy Project

As per normal, call unholy new with your repo:

$ unholy new git@git.host/you/repo.git

In the output, you might be able to spot a line:

Unholyfile not found in project. Continuing with defaults

Edit Your Unholyfile

This file is typically ~/.config/unholy/PROJECT.Unholyfile.

$ unholy remake PROJECT
