In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Drift on Elementary OS Latest. Drift is an open-source CLI tool that helps you to keep track of the changes you make to your files and directories.
Open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
Install pip package manager using the following command:
sudo apt install python3-pip
Install Drift using pip:
sudo pip3 install drift-cli
Verify that Drift has been installed correctly by running the following command:
drift --version
This should show the version of Drift that has been installed on your system.
Now, you need to initialize Drift by running the drift init command in any directory that you want to track:
cd /path/to/directory
drift init
After running the above command, Drift will start tracking changes made to the file(s) or directory that you specified.
You can make changes to the file(s) or directory and then run the following command to view the changes made:
drift status
You can also use the drift log command to view a detailed log of all the changes made so far.
In this tutorial, we have seen how to install and use Drift on Elementary OS Latest. With Drift, you can easily track the changes made to your files and directories, allowing you to easily revert to previous versions if needed.
