πŸ“– About This Skill

name: dev-backup description: Create snapshots of a workspace project during development. Use when: (1) user asks to backup the current app, (2) before risky changes/refactoring, (3) "salva lo stato attuale" or "fai un backup dello sviluppo", (4) any point where the project could be corrupted or lost. Automatically adds progressive numbering per project.

dev-backup

Snapshot the current state of a named project for safe rollback.

Usage

Each project gets its own snapshot numbering. The project name is always the first argument.

# Backup any project
SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
bash "$SCRIPT_DIR/dev-backup.sh"  --project-dir /path/to/your/project
Example: backup a "my-app" project

bash "$SCRIPT_DIR/dev-backup.sh" my-app --project-dir /home/user/projects/my-app
No --project-dir? Uses the current working directory

cd /home/user/projects/my-app
bash "$SCRIPT_DIR/dev-backup.sh" my-app

Naming

Snapshots are named per project:

  • my-app-snapshot-1, my-app-snapshot-2, …
  • another-project-snapshot-1, another-project-snapshot-2, …

    • Each project tracks its own counter independently.

    Excluded from snapshot

  • .git, node_modules, .vite, .cache, *.log, .env, backups/

    • Restore

    To restore a snapshot:

    cp -r /-snapshot-3/ /

    Or use the .latest symlink:

    cp -r /.latest/ /

    Verification

    After backup, confirm:

    ls -la /

    You should see the project-prefixed snapshot and .latest symlink.
