syllago install

Synopsis

syllago install [name] [flags]

Description

Install content from your library into a provider’s location.

By default uses a symlink so edits in your library are reflected immediately. Use —method copy to place a standalone copy instead.

Hooks and MCP configs are merged into the provider’s settings file rather than linked.
