Hi guys,
Where can I find more information about `create-or-update-version`? I've read this <https://docs.pact.io/pact_broker/client_cli/readme#create-or-update-version|README> but I'm not sure what are the implications of using it. Does this override the version of the contract that has been recorded?
Is this something I should avoid using?

I think it would just overwrite the branch, or set a tag with a given version. What are you trying to do?

I can’t update the contract, as you don’t supply one for a version

By default, the broker will prevent you clobbering an existing contract (you would need to update a configuration to allow it)

As I understand it, you don’t need this command unless you are doing something very custom

The only use case we would usually recommend it is this one: <https://docs.pact.io/pact_nirvana/notes_1>

Yup, that is the use case. Global CICD pipeline and to avoid failures when there are no pacts to verify.

Thanks for the response.
