    NAME
           knife-upload - The man page for the knife upload subcommand.
    
           The  knife  upload subcommand is used to upload roles, cookbooks, envi‐
           ronments, and data bags to the Chef server  from  the  current  working
           directory  in  the chef-repo. This subcommand is often used in conjunc‐
           tion with knife diff, which can be used to  see	exactly  what  changes
           will  be  uploaded, and then knife download, which does the opposite of
           knife upload.
    
           Syntax
    
           This subcommand has the following syntax:
    
    	  $ knife upload [PATTERN...] (options)
    
           Options
    
           This subcommand has the following options:
    
           -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
    	      The configuration file to use.
    
           --chef-repo-path PATH
    	      The path to  the	chef-repo.  This  setting  will  override  the
    	      default  path  to  the  chef-repo. Default: same as specified by
    	      chef_repo_path in config.rb.
    
           --chef-zero-port PORT
    	      The port on which chef-zero will listen.
    
           --[no-]color
    	      Use to view colored output.
    
           --concurrency
    	      The number of allowed concurrent connections. Default: 10.
    
           -d, --disable-editing
    	      Use to prevent the $EDITOR from being opened and to accept  data
    	      as-is.
    
           --defaults
    	      Use to have knife use the default value instead of asking a user
    	      to provide one.
    
           --[no-]diff
    	      Use to upload only new and  modified  files.  Set  to  false  to
    	      upload all files. Default: true.
    
           -e EDITOR, --editor EDITOR
    	      The $EDITOR that is used for all interactive commands.
    
           -E ENVIRONMENT, --environment ENVIRONMENT
    	      The name of the environment. When this option is added to a com‐
    	      mand, the command will run only against the named environment.
    
           -F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
    	      The output format: summary (default), text, json, yaml, and pp.
    
           --[no-]force
    	      Use --force to upload roles, cookbooks, etc. even if the file in
    	      the  directory  is identical (by default, no POST or PUT is per‐
    	      formed  unless  an  actual  change  would  be  made).   Default:
    	      --no-force.
    
           --[no-]freeze
    	      Use  to  require changes to a cookbook be included as a new ver‐
    	      sion.  Only  the	--force  option  can  override	this  setting.
    	      Default: false.
    
           -h, --help
    	      Shows help for the command.
    
           -k KEY, --key KEY
    	      The private key that knife will use to sign requests made by the
    	      API client to the Chef server.
    
           -n, --dry-run
    	      Use to take no action  and  only	print  out  results.  Default:
    	      false.
    
           --print-after
    	      Use to show data after a destructive operation.
    
           --[no-]purge
    	      Use  --purge  to	delete	roles,	cookbooks,  etc. from the Chef
    	      server  if  their  corresponding	files  do  not	exist  in  the
    	      chef-repo.  By  default,	such  objects  are  left alone and NOT
    	      purged. Default: --no-purge.
    
           --[no-]recurse
    	      Use --no-recurse to disable uploading a  directory  recursively.
    	      Default: --recurse.
    
           --repo-mode MODE
    	      The  layout  of  the  local  chef-repo. Possible values: static,
    	      everything, or hosted_everything. Use  static  for  just	roles,
    	      environments,  cookbooks,  and data bags. By default, everything
    	      and hosted_everything are dynamically selected depending on  the
    	      server type. Default: everything / hosted_everything.

    	      The URL for the Chef server.
    
           -u USER, --user USER
    	      The  user  name  used  by knife to sign requests made by the API
    	      client to the Chef server. Authentication will fail if the  user
    	      name does not match the private key.
    
           -v, --version
    	      The version of the chef-client.
    
           -V, --verbose
    	      Set for more verbose outputs. Use -VV for maximum verbosity.
    
           -y, --yes
    	      Use  to  respond	to  all confirmation prompts with "Yes". knife
    	      will not ask for confirmation.
    
           -z, --local-mode
    	      Use to run the chef-client in local mode. This allows  all  com‐
    	      mands that work against the Chef server to also work against the
    	      local chef-repo.
