Prompt Git

Example 1: Refining a System Prompt

# Initial version
echo "You are a helpful assistant." | \
  python3 prompt_git.py save assistant --category system --note "v1"
After testing, add more detail
echo "You are a helpful assistant. Provide concise answers." | \
  python3 prompt_git.py save assistant --note "v2: added conciseness"
Hmm, too concise. Rollback
python3 prompt_git.py rollback assistant 
Try a different approach
echo "You are a helpful assistant. Provide detailed, thoughtful answers." | \
  python3 prompt_git.py save assistant --note "v3: detailed instead" --tag testing
This one works! Tag it
python3 prompt_git.py tag assistant  best
python3 prompt_git.py tag assistant  production

Example 2: Sharing Prompts with a Team

# Export your best system prompt
python3 prompt_export.py export my-system-prompt team-prompt.json --history
Teammate imports it
python3 prompt_export.py import team-prompt.json
Now they have the full history and can see how it evolved
python3 prompt_git.py versions my-system-prompt

Example 3: Finding What Broke

# Prompt stopped working. When?
python3 prompt_git.py versions my-prompt
Output shows versions with timestamps
Pick two versions: one that worked, one that didn't
python3 prompt_git.py diff my-prompt  
Diff shows exactly what changed
Fix it and save a new version

See config_example.json for reference constants and example values

# Change storage location
STORAGE_DIR = '/path/to/your/prompts'
Define your own categories
DEFAULT_CATEGORIES = ['system', 'task', 'template', 'snippet', 'general']
Suggested tags
SUGGESTED_TAGS = ['best', 'testing', 'production', 'deprecated']
Similarity threshold for "find similar" search
SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD = 0.5

See config_example.json for all options.

Q: Does it sync across devices? A: No. It's local-only. But you can export/import to share manually, or put ~/.promptgit in a synced folder (Dropbox, Git, etc.).

Q: Can I use it with Git? A: Yes! The storage directory is just JSON and text files. You can version the whole thing with Git if you want meta-version-control.

Q: What about collaborative editing? A: Not built-in. Export/import is the collaboration model. For real-time collab, use a shared folder or Git.

Q: Does it work with images or multimodal prompts? A: Text only. If your multimodal prompt has a text component, you can save that.

Q: How do I delete a prompt? A: Currently, no delete command (by design � version control shouldn't delete easily). You can manually delete the folder in ~/.promptgit/prompts/.
