Overview

The backup command provides three subcommands that determine which template resources should be backed up.

Each subcommand performs a different backup operation while sharing the same overall behavior.

---

💡Choose the Appropriate Scope

Use the smallest backup scope that satisfies your workflow.

For example, if only the commit message template has changed, backing up the commit template alone is usually sufficient.

Workflow Integration

The backup command can be executed directly when you only want to create backups.

Backup operations can also participate in larger Custy workflows.

Those workflow-oriented backup stages are documented in the Run command documentation.

---

ℹ️Global CLI Options

Global options such as --dry-run, --debug, and --log-level

are documented separately in the CLI documentation because they apply to all Custy commands.
