Entire CLI is a command-line tool written in Go that integrates with Git workflows to automatically capture and index AI agent sessions alongside code commits. The tool creates a searchable, versioned record of how code was written by preserving AI interaction transcripts, prompts, file modifications, token usage, and tool calls without cluttering the main Git history.
The core functionality revolves around sessions and checkpoints. A session represents a complete interaction with an AI agent from start to finish, identified by a timestamp and UUID format. Checkpoints are snapshots within sessions created when commits occur, allowing developers to rewind to previous states. All session metadata is stored on a separate `entire/checkpoints/v1` branch, keeping the active branch clean while maintaining full traceability of AI-assisted development work.
Entire supports multiple AI agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Pi, Cursor, and others. The setup process is minimal, requiring just two steps: running `entire enable` to initialize the repository and selecting which agents to integrate. After setup, developers use `entire agent` to manage agent integrations, `entire configure` to adjust non-agent settings like telemetry and checkpoint remotes, and `entire enable` or `entire disable` to toggle the tool on or off.
The tool addresses several developer pain points. It enables understanding why code changed by preserving full transcripts and context alongside commits. It supports instant recovery by allowing developers to rewind to known-good checkpoints when an AI agent produces unwanted changes and resume seamlessly from that point. The manual-commit strategy ensures Git history remains clean while supporting audit and compliance requirements through searchable session records. Entire works seamlessly with Git worktrees and handles concurrent sessions on the same commit by tracking them independently.
The command set includes session management with `entire session` and `entire session resume` for switching branches and restoring session metadata, checkpoint operations through `entire checkpoint` for listing and explaining checkpoints, and organization and project management via `entire org` and `entire project`. Experimental Labs commands like `entire blame` and `entire why` allow developers to trace specific file lines back to the prompts and sessions that created them. The `entire doctor` command helps fix or clean up stuck sessions, while `entire status` displays current session information.
Entire offers two release channels: stable for most users and nightly for those wanting the latest changes earlier. Installation is available through Homebrew, Scoop, and a direct install script at entire.io/install.sh, with options to specify release channels during installation.
