yamlr restore

Accidents happen. yamlr restore is your safety net.

Every time yamlr heal, upgrade, or secure modifies a file, it creates a timestamped backup in the .yamlr/backups directory.

Usage

List Backups

View all available recovery points.

bash
yamlr restore

Output:

text
Found 3 backups:
1. demo.yaml (2023-10-27 10:00:01)
2. deployment.yaml (2023-10-27 09:55:00)
...

Restore Everything

Revert to the state immediately before the last operation.

bash
yamlr restore .

Restore Specific File

bash
yamlr restore ./manifests/deployment.yaml

How It Works

• Location: Backups are stored in <project_root>/.yamlr/backups/.
• Rotation: Yamlr automatically rotates backups to prevent disk bloat (keeps last 5 by default).
• Security: Backup files are created with restricted permissions (0o600).

Warning: If you used --unsafe=Secret during healing, your backups may contain sensitive data. Ensure .yamlr/ is in your .gitignore.
