snapdir stage

Save a snapshot of a directory into the local cache.

Staging walks the directory, writes its objects into the content-addressed cache, and records the resulting manifest so it can be verified, checked out, or pushed to a store later. See Stores and cache.

Usage

snapdir stage [OPTIONS] [DIR]

Arguments

Options

stage accepts the global options, including --cache-dir, --checksum, --exclude, --paths, and --linked.

Examples

Stage the current directory into the default cache:

snapdir stage .

Stage into a specific cache directory, using symlinks instead of copies:

snapdir stage --cache-dir /var/snapdir/cache --linked ./project
