snapdir-cli

The snapdir command-line implementation — content-addressable directory snapshots.

snapdir takes content-addressable snapshots of directories using BLAKE3 merkle hashing, and pushes/pulls them to local or cloud object stores (S3, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, and ssh/sftp remotes). This crate is the implementation library behind the snapdir binary.

Install

The snapdir binary now ships in the snapdir crate:

cargo install snapdir

This installs the snapdir executable. Run snapdir --help to get started.

snapdir-cli versions ≤ 1.5.0 keep installing the binary directly (cargo install snapdir-cli@1.5.0 still works). From 1.6.0 this crate installs no binary itself: it exposes snapdir_cli::run(), the binary entrypoint the snapdir crate's main calls. run() is a binary entrypoint, not a stable library API — the crate keeps publishing and the CLI surface stays supported, but no semver guarantees are made beyond the documented snapdir binary behavior.

It is part of the snapdir project. Full documentation — install, command reference, guides, and use cases — is at snapdir.org; the source lives in the canonical repository.
