FAQPage Schema
How do I verify my dotfiles setup and git SSH identity configuration?▼

Verify your dotfiles setup and git SSH identity by running a diagnostic suite that validates the git, SSH, and Claude identity chain, confirming SSH key configuration integrity and detecting configuration mismatches.

What is the best way to check dotfiles machine or cloud container health?▼

Checking dotfiles machine or cloud container health involves executing diagnostic scripts that validate symlink integrity, settings.json template matching, plugin installation, and cloud ephemeral session status.

How do I troubleshoot broken symlinks and settings.json mismatches in my dotfiles?▼

Troubleshoot broken symlinks and settings.json mismatches by running a dotfiles diagnostic test suite that inspects settings.json integrity against templates and verifies symlink paths within the repository.

Do I need a dotfiles repository to run cloud container diagnostics?▼

Yes, you need access to a dotfiles repository to run cloud container diagnostics, as the tool requires executing various diagnostic scripts stored within the repository to measure container health.

Why does my dotfiles plugin installation fail the settings inspection?▼

Your dotfiles plugin installation fails settings inspection because the diagnostic tool detected a mismatch between your current settings.json and the expected template, indicating plugins are not installed correctly.
