Getting Started

Rinne is in Early Access. Start with a workspace, create a few snapshots, compare them, and restore when needed.

Quickstart

Open the folder you want to manage, then initialize it as a Rinne workspace.

rinne init

Create your first snapshot.

rinne save -m "initial snapshot"

Make some changes in the workspace, then save again.

rinne save -m "update assets"

List snapshot history for the current space.

rinne history

Compare two snapshots. In PowerShell, quote selectors such as @1 and @0.

rinne diff '@1' '@0'

Restore the workspace to the latest snapshot when needed.

rinne restore '@0'

Run rinne to see all available commands. See the CLI section for details on spaces, notes, verify, validate, extract, and more.
