Remoteok init

remoteok init

First-run setup: write a config file and smoke-test the feed

Synopsis

Remote OK is a free public API — there is no account or token to set up. This wizard writes a config file (creating the config directory) and runs a live connectivity check so you know the feed is reachable from your network.

Pass --user-agent to pin a custom browser User-Agent in the config (Remote OK 403s a default/bot UA; the CLI already ships a working default).

remoteok init [flags]
