Atelier docs

Apply safely

Apply restores saved configs to this machine with previews, local comparisons, and backup-backed replacement.

Preview first

Preview decrypts the saved config locally, compares it to the current file, and shows what would happen without writing anything.

atl apply cmux.config --preview
atl apply ~/.config/cmux/cmux.json --preview

Apply one file

If the target file is missing, Atelier creates it. If it already matches, Atelier does nothing. If it differs, Atelier blocks unless you choose a backup-backed apply.

atl apply cmux.config

Back up and replace

Use --backup when the local file exists and differs. Atelier copies the current local file into its local backup directory before writing the saved version.

atl apply cmux.config --backup

Safety model

• Atelier never silently overwrites a differing local file.
• Diffs are computed locally after decryption.
• Plaintext is not sent back to the API during apply.
