Config Sync Pull

Pull configuration from your GitHub backup repo and apply it to the local machine.

What happens

  1. Backup — Current local config is backed up to plugin data directory (timestamped, keeps last 10)
  2. Apply shared — Files from shared/ directory are applied first (base layer)
  3. Apply profile — Profile-specific files overlay on top (overrides shared where both exist)
  4. Apply global — User-level settings from global/ are applied to ~/.claude/
  5. Verify — JSON config files are validated for correct syntax

Instructions

Parse user arguments and run the pull script:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sync-pull.sh" [OPTIONS]

Options:

  • --profile NAME — Pull a specific profile (default: active profile)
  • --dry-run — Show what would be applied without writing any files
  • --no-backup — Skip backup step (use with caution)
  • --yes / -y — Skip confirmation prompt (auto-approve)
  • --include-global — Also pull ~/.claude/settings.json (global settings are opt-in)

Profile switching

If the user specifies a different profile than their current one, this effectively switches their setup. Let them know which profile they're switching from/to.

After pull

Tell the user:

  • How many files were applied
  • Any validation warnings
  • That a backup was created (and where)
  • They may need to restart Claude Code for some settings to take effect
