mnem init

Create a new memory store in a directory (default: the current one).

Synopsis

mnem init [PATH]

Description

Creates a .mnem/ directory at PATH (or the current directory if PATH is omitted) holding a fresh, empty store: an object database, no commits, HEAD pointing at an unborn main branch. Refuses if a store already exists there. Nothing else in mnem works until a store exists

• every other command looks for .mnem/ starting at the current directory.

Options

Examples

Create a store in the current directory:

$ mnem init
Initialised an empty Mnemosyne store in ./.mnem

Create one somewhere specific:

$ mnem init ./my-agent
Initialised an empty Mnemosyne store in my-agent/.mnem
