stencila unwatch

Disable automatic sync for the workspace or a document

When run without a path, disables workspace-level watching that runs update.sh on each git push.

When run with a path, removes the watch from Stencila Cloud for that document, stopping automatic sync with its remote.

Usage

stencila unwatch [PATH] [TARGET]

Examples

# Disable workspace watch
stencila unwatch

# Disable watch for a document
stencila unwatch report.md

# Unwatch a specific remote (if document has multiple)
stencila unwatch report.md gdoc

# Note: Remote linkage is preserved, you can re-enable watch later
stencila unwatch report.md
stencila watch report.md

Arguments

NameDescription
[PATH]The path to the document to unwatch (optional).
[TARGET]The target remote to unwatch (only used with a file path).
