tanzu accelerator generate

This topic tells you how to use the Tanzu Accelerator CLI tanzu accelerator generate command to generate a project from an accelerator.

Synopsis

Generate a project from an accelerator using provided options and download project artifacts as a ZIP file.

Generation options are provided as a JSON string and should match the metadata options that are specified for the accelerator used for the generation. The options can include “projectName” which defaults to the name of the accelerator. This “projectName” will be used as the name of the generated ZIP file.

You can see the available options by using the “tanzu accelerator get ” command.

Here is an example of an options JSON string that specifies the “projectName” and an “includeKubernetes” boolean flag:

--options '{"projectName":"test", "includeKubernetes": true}'

You can also provide a file that specifies the JSON string using the –options-file flag.

The generate command needs access to the Application Accelerator server. You can specify the –server-url flag or set an ACC_SERVER_URL environment variable. If you specify the –server-url flag it overrides the ACC_SERVER_URL environment variable if it is set.
