gum init
Generated from
gum schema --json. Do not edit this page by hand; runmake docs-commands.
gum init bootstraps GUM for a new user or project. Default behavior is diff-and-prompt: gum init never silently patches a security-sensitive file. Use --target to pick the host (claude-code | claude-desktop | cursor). Use --refresh to regenerate GUM.md only after a gum upgrade.
