Version files with hardlinks.
Project description
Versioning is a user-friendly interface to a very common way of versioning files, which creates a snapshot on every save, using hardlinks, with latest.ext always referring to the latest version and other versions named according to when they were created.
You can use it on the command line or from Python.
Status: unstable.
Usage:
versioned (init | update) <dest> [options] versioned rm <dest> [options] versioned ls <dest> [options] versioned <dest> [<src>] [options]
Options:
-s --max-size <size> Prune old snapshots to keep the directory under a certain size.
-n --max-snapshots <n> Prune snapshots beyond the latest <n>.
-d --max-days <days> Prune snapshots older than <days>.
-r --range <range>... List snapshots in a range. Get the latest snapshot using `head`,
a range of older snapshots using `-5 -2`, snapshots that are
between a certain age using `-9d -4d` and snapshots from a
certain year, month or day using `2014`, `2014-05` and so on.
-k --keep When adding a file from <src> to the versioned directory,
also keep the file in its original location.
Arguments: The path to either the versioned directory or the file you wish to start versioning. The path to the file that should be
When initializing a versioned directory, you should refer to it with the desired extension of the files that it will contain at the end. example.txt will result in a versioned directory called example being created, and all the files therein will have the .txt extension. From then on, you can refer to your versioned directory with or without extension tacked on.
