Use this page when you need more detail about what Entire is doing locally or need to confirm which settings are active. Most diagnostic output is local to your machine. Turn on debug logging temporarily unless the whole team needs the same verbosity.

​
Start here if

Use this page to:
  • turn on debug logging while investigating an issue
  • confirm which settings Entire is using
  • run a repository health check
  • view logs or create a diagnostic bundle

​
Log level

log_level controls how much detail Entire writes to operational logs. The default is info; use debug while investigating.
Use ENTIRE_LOG_LEVEL when you need debug output for one command or one shell session.
ENTIRE_LOG_LEVEL=debug entire status
ENTIRE_LOG_LEVEL takes precedence over settings files.
Supported values are debug, info, warn, and error.

​
Inspect active settings

Run: 
entire status --detailed
Use this after editing settings to confirm Entire is reading the value you changed and to see which settings file supplied it.

​
Check repository health

Run: 
entire doctor
Use entire doctor when sessions look stuck, Git hooks are not firing, checkpoint data is not syncing, or entire status shows warnings. It checks repository setup, hook state, checkpoint metadata, and common session problems.

​
View or share diagnostics

Entire writes local diagnostic logs under .entire/logs/. Keep logs local unless someone asks for a specific file or bundle while troubleshooting.
Show recent operational logs with:
entire doctor logs
To stream new log lines while you reproduce an issue, run:
entire doctor logs --follow
For other local runtime files under .entire/, see Entire-Generated Files.

​
Trace slow hooks

Hook performance traces are only available at debug log level. Turn on debug logging, reproduce the slow Git command, then run: 
entire doctor trace
Use this when git commit or git push works but feels slower than expected.

​
Verify logging changes

After changing logging settings, rerun the command you were investigating and check the logs: 
entire doctor logs
