cub changeset create

Create a new changeset or bulk create changesets

Synopsis

Create a new changeset or bulk create multiple changesets by cloning existing ones.

SINGLE CHANGESET CREATION:

Create a new changeset to record an entity changeset specification.

Examples: 

  # Create a changeset
  cub changeset create --space my-space hotfix-changeset --description "Hotfix changes"

  # Create a changeset from JSON
  cub changeset create --space my-space --json my-changeset --from-stdin < changeset.json

BULK CHANGESET CREATION:

When no positional arguments are provided, bulk create mode is activated. This mode clones existing changesets based on filters and creates multiple new changesets with optional modifications.

Bulk Create Examples: 

  # Clone all changesets matching a pattern with name prefixes
  cub changeset create --where "Description LIKE '%release%'" --name-prefix archive- --dest-space archive-space

  # Clone specific changesets to multiple spaces
  cub changeset create --changeset my-changeset --dest-space dev-space,staging-space

  # Clone changesets using a where expression for destination spaces
  cub changeset create --where "Description LIKE 'Release%'" --where-space "Labels.Environment IN ('dev', 'staging')"

  # Clone changesets with modifications via JSON patch
  echo '{"Description": "Archived changeset"}' | cub changeset create --where "CreatedAt < '2024-01-01'" --name-prefix old- --from-stdin

cub changeset create [<slug> [--description <description>]] [flags]

Options

      --allow-exists             Allow creation of resources that already exist
      --annotation strings       annotations in key=value format; can separate by commas and/or use multiple instances of the flag
      --changeset strings        target specific changesets by slug or UUID for bulk create (can be repeated or comma-separated)
      --delete-gate strings      delete gates in key[=true] format; can separate by commas and/or use multiple instances of the flag
      --description string       human-readable description of the change
      --dest-space strings       destination spaces for bulk create (can be repeated or comma-separated)
      --filename string          Read the ConfigHub entity JSON from file, URL (https://), or stdin (-); mutually exclusive with --from-stdin
      --filter string            Filter entity to apply to the list. Specify as 'space/filter' for cross-space filters or just 'filter' for current space. Supports both slugs and UUIDs. The filter will be combined with any --where clause using AND logic. Examples: "production-filters/security-check", "my-filter-uuid", "validation-rules"
      --filter-space string      filter entity containing WHERE expression to select destination spaces for bulk create (slug or UUID)
      --from-stdin               Read the ConfigHub entity JSON (e.g., retrieved with cub <entity> get --quiet --json) from stdin; merged with command arguments on create, and merged with command arguments and existing entity on update
  -h, --help                     help for create
      --jq string                jq expression, suppressing default output
      --json                     JSON output, suppressing default output
      --label strings            labels in key=value format; can separate by commas and/or use multiple instances of the flag
      --name-pattern string      a pattern string for name generation of clones, prefix 'template:' to use a Go template with .SourceEntitySlug to access the original ChangeSet and .Labels to access variant labels, example: 'template:{{.SourceEntitySlug}}-{{.Labels.env}}'
      --name-prefix strings      name prefixes for bulk create (can be repeated or comma-separated)
      --quiet                    No default output.
      --variant-labels strings   labels for bulk create in the format of key1=value1|value2,key2=value1|value2|value3
      --verbose                  Detailed output, additive with default output
      --where string             Filter expression using SQL-inspired syntax. Supports conjunctions with AND. String operators: =, !=, <, >, <=, >=, LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*. Pattern matching with LIKE/ILIKE uses % and _ wildcards. Regex operators (~, ~*, !~, !~*) support POSIX regular expressions. Examples: "Slug LIKE 'app-%'", "DisplayName ILIKE '%backend%'", "Slug ~ '^[a-z]+-[0-9]+$'"
      --where-space string       where expression to select destination spaces for bulk create
      --yaml                     YAML output, suppressing default output
      --yq string                yq expression, suppressing default output
