API

Use drives --help for more information, drives mirror --help, etc.

Storage

By default, it tries to use .drives from the current directory.

If it doesn't exists then it will go back ../ until it finds an existing .drives.

If it doesn't find anything, then it will create and use a global folder at ~/.drives.

You can always set --storage [path] to force a different location.

Initialize

It creates the .drives storage folder in the current working directory.

drives init
# Notice: new storage at /home/user/Desktop/my-project/.drives/corestore

Useful to avoid doing a parent lookup, and not using the home folder.

Create a writable Hyperdrive

drives touch
# New drive: <z32 key>

Mirror any drive into another

Source and destination can be a folder path or a drive key.

drives mirror <src> <dst>

Use --live for real-time mirroring, and --verbose to show all logs.

Use --dry-run to disable writing, and remember there is --help for more.

Note: it ignores .drives, .git, .github, .DS_Store, and package-lock.json entries.

List files

drives ls <key or path>

Share a drive

drives seed [my-drive-key]

Archive download a Hyperdrive

Continuous download with all past historical states, useful to checkout on older versions:

drives download <my-drive-key>

Serve a drive via HTTP

drives serve <key or path>
# HTTP server on http://localhost:5000

URL requests are like /path/to/file, i.e. http://localhost:5000/index.js.

For security, requests to /.drives/* are rejected, so mind the storage location!

Show storage size, version, etc

drives info <my-drive-key>
