Details

pipectl init was removed in commit 81586152f (#5958). Running it now returns:

2026/05/08 15:55:20 unknown command "init" for "pipectl"

Current pipectl --help output:

Available Commands:
  application  Manage application resources.
  completion   Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  deployment   Manage deployment resources.
  encrypt      Encrypt the plaintext entered in either stdin or the --input-file flag.
  event        Manage event resources.
  help         Help about any command
  migrate      Do migration tasks.
  piped        Manage piped resources.
  plan-preview Show plan preview against the specified commit.
  plugin       Do plugin tasks.
  version      Print the information of current binary.

pipectl migrate application-config is the replacement for pipectl init. It converts v0 application configs to the v1 format.

Supported flags:

• --config-files
• --dirs
• --applications

(Defined in pkg/app/pipectl/cmd/migrate/application_config.go)

pipectl plugin push pushes plugin binaries to an OCI registry.

Required flags:

• --files
• --tag
• --registry
• --repository

(Defined in pkg/app/pipectl/cmd/plugin/push.go)

This command is currently undocumented.

Why is this needed

Users following the official docs currently hit a dead end because pipectl init no longer exists in the current release. In addition, plugin authors have no discoverable documentation for pipectl plugin push, even though it is part of the CLI.
