Initialize Entire in a Git repository. This installs the necessary Git hooks to capture AI coding sessions.

entire enable [flags]

Flag	Description
`--absolute-git-hook-path`	Embed full binary path in Git hooks. Required for GUI Git clients that don’t source shell profiles. See GUI Git Clients.
`--agent NAME`	Agent to setup hooks for: `claude-code`, `codex`, `gemini`, `opencode`, `cursor`, `copilot-cli`, `factoryai-droid`, or `pi`. Enables non-interactive mode.
`--checkpoint-backend BACKEND`	Set checkpoint storage to `branch` (default) or `refs` (one Git ref per checkpoint).
`--checkpoint-remote PROVIDER:OWNER/REPO`	Push checkpoint branches to a separate repository (e.g., `github:org/checkpoints-private`). See Checkpoint Remote.
`-f, --force`	Force reinstall hooks (removes existing Entire hooks first)
`--local`	Write settings to `.entire/settings.local.json` instead of `.entire/settings.json`.
`--project`	Write settings to `.entire/settings.json` even if it already exists
`--skip-push-sessions`	Disable automatic pushing of session logs on Git push
`--telemetry`	Enable anonymous usage analytics (default: true)
`-y, --yes`	Accept defaults without prompting. Useful for automation, CI, and bootstrap flows.

Use --yes for non-interactive setup flows:

# Non-interactive setup for a specific agent
entire enable --yes --agent claude-code

# Non-interactive setup using default choices
entire enable --yes

--yes is not just a confirmation bypass. It runs entire enable non-interactively with default choices. On a fresh repository, it enables the default setup without prompts. On an already configured repository, it follows the setup-management path. Outside a Git repository, it also accepts the bootstrap defaults to initialize Git, create a private GitHub repository through gh, and create the initial commit. Important behavior:

If you also pass --agent NAME, that explicit agent selection takes precedence over the default multi-agent behavior.
If you pass --telemetry=false, or set ENTIRE_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT, that explicit telemetry opt-out still overrides the --yes default.

The --local and --project flags control which Entire settings file is modified. Entire always modifies the agent’s project settings (e.g., .claude/settings.json, .gemini/settings.json, .opencode/plugins/entire.ts, .factory/settings.json, or .pi/extensions/entire/index.ts).
