Example

Say you wanna archive all the Office files in the current directory except the ones starts with _:

some_directory/
+-- foo.docx
+-- bar.pptx
+-- baz.xlsx
`-- _blah.docx

You can first create a config file h3a.yaml:

# h3a.yaml
include:
  - '**/*.docx'
  - '**/*.pptx'
  - '**/*.xlsx'
exclude:
  - '_*.*'
on_conflict: overwrite

Then, execute h3a in the directory and confirm the archive plan:

h3a

Now you get your files archived: (The actual time tag differs.)

some_directory/
+-- h3a.yaml
+-- foo.docx
+-- foo_v20251024-123456.docx
+-- bar.pptx
+-- bar_v20251024-123456.pptx
+-- baz.xlsx
+-- baz_v20251024-123456.xlsx
`-- _blah.docx
