NAME¶
knife-edit - The man page for the knife edit subcommand.
The knife edit subcommand is used to edit objects on the Chef server. This subcommand works similar to knife cookbook edit, knife data bag edit, knife environment edit, knife node edit, and knife role edit, but with a single verb (and a single action).
Syntax
This subcommand has the following syntax:
$ knife edit (options)
Options
This subcommand has the following options:
- -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
- The configuration file to use.
- --chef-repo-path PATH

- --[no-]color
- Use to view colored output.
- --concurrency
- The number of allowed concurrent connections. Default: 10.
- -d, --disable-editing

- -s URL, --server-url URL
