Usage

How to Init-ialize ckp

1. You first need to create an empty git repository that ckp will use as a storage. we higly recommend to keep this repository private

2. Once the repository is created you can initialise ckp using the init command. Copy the ssh or https url and pass it as an argument to the ckp init command

$> ckp init git@github.com:elhmn/store.git

This will create a ~/.ckp folder, and clone the storage repository
