The wing CLI

wing is the command-line client for the WingDrive daemon. It talks to the same daemon as the desktop app, so a script and a window always see the same library.

Daemon

wing start               # start the daemon in the background
wing start --foreground  # run in the foreground with logs
wing status              # daemon, library and network status
wing stop
wing restart
wing logs                # view and follow logs

Libraries and locations

wing library create "Personal"
wing library list
wing library switch <library>

wing location add ~/Pictures --name "Pictures"
wing location list
wing location rescan <location>
wing location remove <location>

Indexing and search

wing index start ~/Projects
wing index verify <location>     # compare the index with the disk
wing search files "invoice 2026"

Files

wing file list ~/Downloads
wing file info ./report.pdf
wing file copy ./a.txt ~/Backup/
wing file rename ./old.txt new.txt
wing file mkdir ~/Projects/new
wing file delete ./tmp.log
wing file undo                   # reverse the last copy, move or trash
wing file history                # what can still be undone

Multiple instances

Run isolated daemons side by side, for testing or to keep libraries apart:

wing --instance test start
wing --instance test library create "Test"
wing --instance test stop

Updates

wing update    # check for a newer release and print how to install it

Every command has --help.
