Entire is a feature that records context surrounding AI-assisted code changes, linking it to your Git history. Each checkpoint is a versioned record of work done during an agent session, tied to the Git commit it resulted in. To set up Entire in a repository, simply run the command "entire enable -y", which accepts default setup options and enables Entire for all supported coding agents.
This command installs necessary hooks and creates the project configuration required for Entire to function. Checkpoint data is stored under Git refs by default, with each checkpoint saved in "refs/entire/checkpoints/". Alternatively, checkpoints can be stored together on a dedicated branch named "entire/checkpoints/v1". New repositories use the refs-based approach by default, while existing ones using "entire/checkpoints/v1" can continue using it.
Entire can also be configured interactively to review setup options and choose specific agents to connect. Once setup is complete, run "entire status" to confirm which agents are connected and where checkpoints will be synchronized. To view checkpoints, run "entire checkpoint list". For sensitive repositories, it's recommended to review Entire's security and privacy guidelines.
