rootform vendor

vendor reads the current project's rootform.lock and copies selected external content into .rootform/. Without a subcommand, it vendors every selected family; run vendor dialects or vendor policy-packs to write one family. It does not choose versions or change the lock. Run it from the project root whose selection you intend to copy.

Usage

OUTPUT

rootform vendor [options]
rootform vendor <command> [options]

Subcommands

Command	Purpose
rootform vendor dialects	Vendor selected Dialects
rootform vendor policy-packs	Vendor selected Policy Packs

Run from a project whose rootform.lock selects content. An empty selection has nothing to vendor. The first command copies both selected families; the subcommands limit the copy to one family.

rootform vendor
rootform vendor dialects
rootform vendor policy-packs

Shell

When the corresponding default vendored directory exists, consuming commands use it as the exclusive source for that project's selected content. See the printed destination and selected Dialect or Policy Pack names to confirm what was copied. vendor and both subcommands share these exit statuses: 0 means every selected unit was copied; 1 means selected content is invalid, missing, or differs from rootform.lock; 2 means the command was used incorrectly; 3 means no content was selected, rootform.lock is invalid, or --offline needs content that is not installed; and 4 means a file, the Rootform home, or the registry could not be read or written. See External content storage for the precedence rules and Add external content for selection setup.
