Bootstrap a variant config, based on an existing base config, or based on
another variant config
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Required args:
-b BASE, --base BASE base config code to use, in the format A.B
-v VARIANT, --variant VARIANT
variant config code to use, in the format A.B.C
Optional args:
--learn-settings Learn settings from a connected device, and set in the
bootstrapped config file
--learn-props Learn update.property from a connected device, and set
in the bootstrapped config file
--learn-partitions Learn information about partitions on device, and set

bootstrap action is your entry point to using inception. You start by bootstrapping a configuration -referred to as "variant" - that is based on another configuration, called "base". A variant inherits all properties of its base, and its base inherits all from its own base, and so on. A variant can also bootstrap using another variant as its base. This allows you place common config in 1 parent, and bootstrap several variants based on it.
#Base
A base name is always in the format A.B, for example:
- inception.core
- inception.device
- samsung.degaswifi
- samsung.galaxytab
#Variant
A variant name is always in the format A.B.C:
- samsung.degaswifi.home_config
- samsung.degaswifi.work_config
- samsung.galaxytab.mygalaxytab
Once you bootstrap a variant the following happens:
- inception downloads the whole config tree and places them by default in "~/.inception/base" folder.
- creates a variant configuration you will find in "~/.inception/variants/A/B/C/C.json"
You then edit the JSON configuration file and jump to "incept make"
