###Archive Sites Devstar comes with the option to update sites with one command, site-archive. This will make a tar.gz file from the site directory.

###Remove sites. To never really lose work, we build in an archive that saves sites that are removed with remove-site. Devstar will store these archives in /devstar/archive

To remove and archive a site use

remove-site <name>

##System commands System commands are commands to manipulate files, create compressed archives, preform updates and make navigation must easier.

###Comments Devstar has an intergrated comment system. If you add an comment it will show up in the greetings message.

To add a comment use

Or don't put in <name> and <source> and use it in current.

tzg

This will create an archive of the current folder with name and date of creation.

To extract from a tar.gz, tar.bz2 or zip

##Other commands

fish_greeting is a function that fish accesses to show a greeting text or execute commands. We have configured it so it will show Toilet with the hostname.

It will also give you information regarding your disk usage and usage per site.

fish_prompt is a specially designed prompt to look and feel like a valid URI-scheme.

##Personal Commands When you desire some special commands that other people on the system do not like to have in the Devstar folder. You can make personal commands, these commands will be saved in /home/(user)/.config/fish/functions Too make a new function
