Summary

This repository provides a versioned setup for the "Pi coding agent," enabling users to back up, sync, and restore custom extensions, themes, skills, and configurations. It targets Pi agent users seeking reproducible environments and simplified management of their personalized agent setups, offering a robust way to manage customizations across different machines.

How It Works

The project mirrors a live Pi agent's configuration (~/.pi/agent) in a version-controlled repository. A pi-setup-sync script pushes local changes to GitHub, while install.sh restores these configurations to new or existing machines. This approach maintains a consistent, backed-up Pi agent environment without replacing the core Pi CLI.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Execute curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhinand5/pi-setup/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --restore --copy-config --backup for a safe, guided setup. Manual git clone and ./install.sh are alternatives.
• Prerequisites: Pi CLI must be installed first. git and ca-certificates are also needed.
• Links:
  • Install script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhinand5/pi-setup/main/install.sh
  • Repository: https://github.com/abhinand5/pi-setup

Highlighted Details

• Launcher: Compact Pi wrapper (bin/pi) with concise update notices.
• Customizations: Includes themes (e.g., nebula-pulse), extensions for context breakdown, file change management, and a safety guard.
• Local LLM Management: Supports configuration of local OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoints (Ollama, LM Studio).
• Sync Utility: pi-setup-sync automates backing up live agent changes to Git.
• Installer Options: --dry-run (preview), --backup (restore points), --revert (restore).

Maintenance & Community

The provided README lacks details on contributors, sponsorships, or community channels.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: Not explicitly stated, posing an adoption risk, especially for commercial use.
• Compatibility: Augments an existing Pi CLI; direct installation as a Pi package is discouraged due to potential conflicts.

Limitations & Caveats

The primary adoption blocker is the unstated license. The --restore option modifies and can overwrite existing Pi agent configurations, requiring careful use of --dry-run or --backup. This is a configuration management tool, not a Pi CLI replacement.
