How-To Guides¶

How-to guides are task-oriented. They show you how to solve a specific real-world problem, assuming you already know the basics.

• How to request an iMarina load — for requesters: put the A3 and previous-iMarina files on SharePoint, fill in the form, review the generated file, approve or reject publication.
• How to run the full pipeline locally — reproduce a real download → build → upload → notify run by hand.
• How to configure secrets — supply SharePoint, FTP and SMTP credentials via a local file, environment variables, Docker secrets or Vault.
• How to override build's input files — point build at files anywhere on disk instead of ./input/.
• How to publish a load file manually — run the human-gated FTP push directly, safely (dry-run by default).
• How to add a new CLI option — for contributors: the project's consistent pattern for adding options to any subcommand.
