Eve Project Bootstrap
This walks you through the initial setup dance for Eve: pointing the CLI at an API, creating an org and project with the right slugs (which are permanent and control your URLs), dropping in a manifest, and pushing your first deploy. It's the onboarding checklist you'd otherwise piece together from docs or Slack messages. The slug warning is worth heeding since they end up in every deployment URL and Kubernetes namespace. Includes the usual verification commands and a note about pipeline versus direct deploys. Useful if you're setting up a new project from scratch or need to remember the profile and default commands.

Eve Project Bootstrap
Use this flow to connect an existing repo to Eve and get the first deploy running.
Set the API Target
- Get the staging API URL from your admin.
- Create and use a profile:
eve profile create staging --api-url https://api.eve.example.com
eve profile use staging
Create Org and Project
eve org ensure my-org --slug myorg
eve project ensure --name "My App" --slug my-app --repo-url git@github.com:me/my-app.git --branch main
URL impact: These slugs determine your deployment URLs and K8s namespaces:
- URL:
{service}.{orgSlug}-{projectSlug}-{env}.{domain}(e.g.,api.myorg-my-app-staging.eve.example.com) - Namespace:
eve-{orgSlug}-{projectSlug}-{env}(e.g.,eve-myorg-my-app-staging)
Slugs are immutable — choose short, meaningful values.
Set defaults:
eve profile set --org org_xxx --project proj_xxx
Add the Manifest
- Ensure
.eve/manifest.yamlis present and usesschema: eve/compose/v1. - Use the
eve-manifest-authoringskill for structure details.
First Deploy
# Create environment if needed
eve env create staging --project proj_xxx --type persistent
