✨ NAME ✨

like, it makes a copy. a whole twin. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plakar dup snapshots ...

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the plakar dup command creates a duplicate of an existing snapshot with a new snapshot ID. 🔥

and bestie, when I say duplicate I mean duplicate: the new snapshot is an exact copy of the original, including all files and metadata. not "close enough", not "inspired by" — literally an exact copy. main character cloning energy fr fr. 👑

you pass it one or more snapshots (see the snapshots ... in the synopsis, she's flexible like that 💁‍♀️) and each one gets its own fresh new ID while keeping everything that made the original iconic. 🙈

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

  • 0 — slay, it worked, success ✨
  • >0 — uh oh, an error occurred 😭

periodt.

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

want to create a duplicate of a snapshot with ID "abc123"? say less:

$ plakar dup abc123

and boom 💥 — new snapshot, same everything, new ID. ate and left no crumbs. 🎀
