wer edit

Edit a resource in your default editor.

Usage

wer edit <type> <name>

Description

The edit command opens the YAML definition of a resource in your default editor. The editor is determined by checking: $WER_EDITOR, $EDITOR, $VISUAL environment variables (in that order), then platform defaults - on Linux the editor command (respects update-alternatives), nano, or vi; on Windows, notepad. When you save and close the editor, werkr will apply the changes to the resource. If there is a parse or validation error, the editor is re-opened with the error shown as a comment at the top of the file.

The resource's kind and name cannot be changed during editing. The resourceVersion field provides optimistic concurrency - if another process modified the resource while you were editing, the edit will fail.
