🛡️ Safety & Recovery

Protecting your existing work is our primary directive. The static-repo-page-kickstart is designed to be non-destructive, providing multiple layers of defense before any system changes occur.

🛡️ Automated Backups​

Before the installer modifies a single file, it triggers the Safety-First module.

Location & Naming​

All backups are stored in your repository's root directory with a unique timestamp:

  • Format: backup_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.tar.gz
  • Content: A full compressed archive of your current project state (excluding files already in .gitignore).

How to Restore​

If you need to revert to the state prior to running the kickstarter, use the following command:

tar -xzvf backup_TIMESTAMP.tar.gz

Use code with caution.

🔍 Pre-Flight Collision Detection​

To maintain your Modular Architecture without corruption, the script performs a deep scan of your environment:

  • Docusaurus Check: If a website/ folder already exists, the script will pause and ask for your permission to Purge (Clean install) or Overwrite.
  • CI/CD Verification: We detect existing .gitlab-ci.yml or .github/workflows/ files. You can choose to:
    • Preview: View the new logic in your terminal first.
    • Sample: Save as .sample files for manual merging.
    • Overwrite: Replace with the new Cross-Platform Bridge.

🏗️ Safety by Design​

  • Encapsulation: All documentation logic is isolated within the website/ directory to prevent interference with your core repository code.
  • Dry-Run Auditing: You can always audit the full logic of the installer before execution by running: 
    curl -sSL https://.../setup.sh | less
  • Standardized Cleanliness: Our Standardization pillar ensures that any temporary files created during the build are automatically purged upon completion.
