syllago add

Synopsis

syllago add [<type>[/<name>]] --from <provider> [flags]

Description

Discovers content from a provider and adds it to your library (~/.syllago/content/).

Without a positional argument, shows what content is available (discovery mode). Provide a type or type/name to add content.

Syllago handles format conversion automatically. Once added, content can be installed to any supported provider with “syllago install —to <provider>”.
