Initialize Entire in a Git repository. This installs the necessary Git hooks to capture AI coding sessions.
entire enable [flags]
FlagDescription
--absolute-git-hook-pathEmbed full binary path in Git hooks. Required for GUI Git clients that don’t source shell profiles. See GUI Git Clients.
--agent NAMEAgent to setup hooks for: claude-code, codex, gemini, opencode, cursor, copilot-cli, factoryai-droid, or pi. Enables non-interactive mode.
--checkpoint-remote PROVIDER:OWNER/REPOPush checkpoint branches to a separate repository (e.g., github:org/checkpoints-private). See Checkpoint Remote.
-f, --forceForce reinstall hooks (removes existing Entire hooks first)
--localWrite settings to .entire/settings.local.json instead of .entire/settings.json.
--projectWrite settings to .entire/settings.json even if it already exists
--skip-push-sessionsDisable automatic pushing of session logs on Git push
--telemetryEnable anonymous usage analytics (default: true)
-y, --yesAccept defaults without prompting. Useful for automation, CI, and bootstrap flows.
Use --yes for non-interactive setup flows:
# Non-interactive setup for a specific agent
entire enable --yes --agent claude-code

# Non-interactive setup using default choices
entire enable --yes
--yes is not just a confirmation bypass. It runs entire enable non-interactively with default choices. On a fresh repository, it enables the default setup without prompts. On an already configured repository, it follows the setup-management path. Outside a Git repository, it also accepts the bootstrap defaults to initialize Git, create a private GitHub repository through gh, and create the initial commit. Important behavior:
  • If you also pass --agent NAME, that explicit agent selection takes precedence over the default multi-agent behavior.
  • If you pass --telemetry=false, or set ENTIRE_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT, that explicit telemetry opt-out still overrides the --yes default.
The --local and --project flags control which Entire settings file is modified. Entire always modifies the agent’s project settings (e.g., .claude/settings.json, .gemini/settings.json, .opencode/plugins/entire.ts, .factory/settings.json, or .pi/extensions/entire/index.ts).
