undo

Undo the last file operation.

Usage

neatcli undo

How It Works

NeatCLI keeps a history of all file operations:

  • Moves can be undone (files are moved back)
  • Deletes cannot be undone (use --trash instead)

Examples

Undo Last Operation

neatcli undo

Output: 

→ Undoing 'organize --by-type' (23 operations)...

✓ Restored 23 files

View History

neatcli history

Output: 

Operation History:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  2024-12-19 15:30:00  organize --by-type (23 files)
  2024-12-19 14:15:00  organize --by-date (45 files)
  2024-12-18 10:00:00  clean --older-than 30d (12 files)
  ... and 5 more operations

Limitations

Deleted Files

Files deleted with clean --execute (without --trash) cannot be recovered. Always use --trash for safer cleanup operations.

History Size

By default, the last 100 operations are kept. Older operations are automatically removed.
