feat: add hermes backup and hermes import commands#7997
Merged
Conversation
hermes backup — creates a zip of ~/.hermes/ (config, skills, sessions, profiles, memories, skins, cron jobs, etc.) excluding the hermes-agent codebase, __pycache__, and runtime PID files. Defaults to ~/hermes-backup-<timestamp>.zip, customizable with -o. hermes import <zipfile> — restores from a backup zip, validating it looks like a hermes backup before extracting. Handles .hermes/ prefix stripping, path traversal protection, and confirmation prompts (skip with --force). 29 tests covering exclusion rules, backup creation, import validation, prefix detection, path traversal blocking, confirmation flow, and a full round-trip test.
Add 17 additional tests covering: - _format_size helper (bytes through terabytes) - Nonexistent hermes home error exit - Output path is a directory (auto-names inside it) - Output without .zip suffix (auto-appends) - Empty hermes home (all files excluded) - Permission errors during backup and import - Output zip inside hermes root (skips itself) - Not-a-zip file rejection - EOFError and KeyboardInterrupt during confirmation - 500+ file progress display - Directory-only zip prefix detection Remove dead code branch in _detect_prefix (unreachable guard).
After extracting backup files, hermes import now scans profiles/ for subdirectories with config.yaml or .env and recreates the ~/.local/bin wrapper scripts so profile aliases (e.g. 'coder chat') work immediately. Also prints guidance for re-installing gateway services per profile. Handles edge cases: - Skips profile dirs without config (not real profiles) - Skips aliases that collide with existing commands - Gracefully degrades if hermes_cli.profiles isn't available (fresh install) - Shows PATH hint if ~/.local/bin isn't in PATH 3 new profile restoration tests (49 total).
