# PM2 Auto-Commit Service - Quick Reference

## ✅ Service Status: RUNNING
The auto-commit watcher is now running as a PM2 background service!

## 🚀 Quick Commands

### Service Management
```bash
# Check service status
npm run pm2:status

# View auto-commit logs
npm run services:logs

# Stop auto-commit service
npm run services:stop

# Start auto-commit service
npm run services:start

# Restart auto-commit service
./start-services.sh restart
```

### Manual Operations
```bash
# Save changes immediately
npm run save "Your message"

# Create restore point
npm run restore-point "Before big changes"

# List restore points
./auto-commit.sh list
```

## 📊 Monitoring

### Real-time Monitoring
```bash
# PM2 monitoring dashboard
npm run pm2:monit

# Live log streaming
pm2 logs timeshift-auto-commit
```

### Log Files
- **Output**: `/home/klas/timeshift/logs/auto-commit.out.log`
- **Errors**: `/home/klas/timeshift/logs/auto-commit.error.log`
- **Combined**: `/home/klas/timeshift/logs/auto-commit.log`

## ⚙️ How It Works

1. **File Watching**: Monitors `components/`, `app/`, `lib/` directories
2. **Smart Delay**: Waits 30 seconds after last change
3. **Auto-Commit**: Creates timestamped git commits
4. **Rate Limiting**: Max 10 commits per hour
5. **Restore Points**: Creates backup branches every 30 minutes

## 🛡️ Backup & Recovery

### Automatic Backups
- ✅ Auto-commits every 30 seconds when files change
- ✅ Restore points every 30 minutes
- ✅ Session restore point on startup

### Manual Recovery
```bash
# See all restore points
./auto-commit.sh list

# Restore to specific point
git checkout restore-point-20250729-142449

# Go back to main
git checkout main

# See recent auto-commits
git log --oneline -10
```
