hosted:node:create

Create a node from --title or the full six-field JSON values file. Without --repository-id the server places it: under --parent, in the parent's repository when you hold a write role there, otherwise in your fork of that repository, where the node starts private unless you have added members to that fork; with no --parent, as a root in your default workspace. With --repository-id, commit a root node in that hosted repository.

Reference for flywheel hosted:node:create.

Create and commit one node. Without --repository-id, the server chooses the repository: with --parent, the node goes into the parent's repository when you hold a write role there and into your fork of that repository otherwise, where it starts private unless you have added members to that fork; with no --parent, it becomes a root in your default workspace. The result names the node, the repository it landed in and the placement. With --repository-id, the node is committed as a root in that hosted repository and requires a sufficient repository role. An existing repository refuses insufficient membership with 403 repository_forbidden (CLI exit 3). Instead, to add under a node you can read, run flywheel hosted:node:create --parent <node_id> --title 'My addition'; without a write role there, it lands in your fork. Missing and unreadable parents still return 404, and nothing is created. See Add to a graph you don't own for creation, visibility read-back and sharing.

Summary

Create a node from --title or the full six-field JSON values file. Without --repository-id the server places it: under --parent, in the parent's repository when you hold a write role there, otherwise in your fork of that repository, where the node starts private unless you have added members to that fork; with no --parent, as a root in your default workspace. With --repository-id, commit a root node in that hosted repository.
