Arguments

Positional Arguments:

Argument	Description
database	The database to target.
addons	Comma-separated list of additional addon paths. The standard Odoo addons paths are automatically added to the odoo-bin command (including enterprise if any enterprise module is installed). If this command is run from within an Odoo addons directory and no additional addons are specified, the current directory will be added to the list of addons.

Optional Arguments:

Argument	Description
-v, --log-level	Set logging verbosity for the execution of odev.
-h, --help	Show help for the current command.
-f, --force	Bypass confirmation prompts and assume a default value to all, use with caution!
-c, --community	Force running the database without enterprise addons.
-V, --version	The Odoo version to use for the new database. If not specified and a template is provided, the version of the template database will be used. Otherwise, the version will default to "master".
--venv	Name of the Python virtual environment to use when running this database. If not specified, defaults to the common virtual environment for the current Odoo version.
-w, --worktree	Name of the worktree to use when running this database. If not specified, defaults to the common worktree for the current Odoo version.
--no-pretty	Do not pretty print the output of odoo-bin but rather display logs as output by the subprocess.
-t, --from-template	Name of an existing PostgreSQL database to copy instead of initializing a new Odoo database. If passed without a value (empty string), search for a template database with the same name as the new database.
-T, --create-template	Create the database as a template to reuse later (append ':template' to its name).
--no-filestore	Do not copy the filestore from the template.
--bare	Do not initialize the database (create the PostgreSQL database then exit).
