Save the config you mean to keep
Capture known config files by stable ID or path. Atelier validates candidates before upload and keeps generated or private files out of the happy path.
Encrypted config profiles for developer machines
Your tools, settings, and profiles, safely carried forward.
Atelier is a CLI-first config manager for saving encrypted snapshots, previewing changes, and applying profiles across machines without blind overwrites.
$ npm install -g @manan_joshi/atelier
$ atl login
$ atl save zed.settings
✓ zed.settings saved · encrypted
$ atl apply zed.settings --preview
◆ Apply preview
✓ unchanged · ~/.config/zed/settings.json
$ atl profile switch personal --backup
✓ profile applied with local backupsPreview before anything changes
Apply previews show what would be created, updated, or left unchanged. Differing local files are blocked unless you choose a backup-backed apply.
Profiles for real contexts
Use profiles for personal, work, or project-specific setups without turning your application code into a dotfiles repository.
How it works
A safer loop for machine setup.
1
Login
Authenticate with GitHub device auth. The CLI stores an Atelier session, not your GitHub token.
2
Save
Encrypt a config locally and store the encrypted snapshot in your active profile.
3
Preview
Compare saved configs to the current machine without writing files.
4
Apply
Restore individual files or switch a whole profile with safe backups.
Local encryption
Plaintext stays on your machine.
Atelier encrypts config contents before upload. The hosted service stores encrypted snapshots and metadata. Apply and diff operations happen locally after you enter your vault passphrase.
