<p>The <code>directories</code> config key is a <strong>dict</strong> mapping directory names to filesystem paths.
unshackle honours only the names listed below. A handful are <strong>protected</strong> and you cannot
move them, and unshackle silently ignores an override of one. unshackle computes all
defaults relative to the installed package, and passes every user-settable path through
<code>Path(...).expanduser()</code>, so <code>~</code> works.</p>

<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">How git-backed service repos are handled</p>
<p>unshackle's use of git is <strong>read-only on the remote</strong>: it only ever does a shallow
<code>clone</code>, <code>fetch</code>, <code>pull</code>, and a local <code>reset</code>. <strong>unshackle never pushes anything</strong>. Your
existing git credential helper authenticates private repos, and unshackle stores no
tokens of its own. Clones live under <code>&lt;first-local-services-dir&gt;/_repos/&lt;host&gt;__&lt;owner&gt;__&lt;repo&gt;/</code>
(or the bundled <code>unshackle/services</code>), and <strong>unshackle writes nothing to the cache directory</strong>. After
the first clone unshackle re-pulls <strong>at most once every 24 h</strong>, so it does not touch the
network on every run.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Automatic and manual refresh behave differently</p>
<p>The <strong>automatic</strong> 24 h-TTL refresh that happens during a normal <code>dl</code>/<code>search</code> run
<strong>refuses to refresh and exits</strong> (naming the offending clone) if that clone has
uncommitted changes to tracked files or unpushed local commits. Untracked files (new
service folders, <code>__pycache__</code>) never block it. The <strong>manual</strong>
<code>unshackle util refresh-services</code> command instead <strong>hard-resets</strong> the clone to upstream,
discarding any local edits.</p>
<p>Set <code>services_repo_force: true</code> to make the automatic 24 h refresh behave like
<code>refresh-services</code>. When a refresh is due, the run fetches and hard-resets every clone,
and discards any local edits in <code>_repos/</code>. Runs between refreshes do not touch the
network. Use it on unattended hosts where nobody edits the clones by hand.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span id="__span-2-1"><a id="__codelineno-2-1" name="__codelineno-2-1" href="#__codelineno-2-1"></a><span class="nt">services_repo_force</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="l l-Scalar l-Scalar-Plain">true</span>

</div>
<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">Refresh inside <code>serve</code></p>
<p>A running server does not restart to pick up a refresh. Both the periodic refresh
(<code>serve.services_refresh_interval</code>, see <a href="../services/#serve">serve</a>) and the manual
<code>POST /api/maintenance/refresh-services</code> endpoint hard-reset the clones and then re-import
only the services that changed. A service with a running or queued download job keeps its
current code until that job finishes, then swaps; <code>GET /api/services</code> marks it with
<code>pending_update</code> in the meantime.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Read-only installs and reinstalls</p>
<p>If the services directory lives inside the installed package, a reinstall can delete the
<code>_repos</code> clones. They are re-cloned on next use. On <strong>read-only installs</strong> you must
point <code>services</code> at a writable path, or cloning will fail.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="filenames">Filenames<a class="headerlink" href="#filenames" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>The <code>filenames</code> config key is a <strong>dict</strong> of templated file/name patterns. unshackle uses
each value verbatim (no path processing). It fills in braced fields like <code>{time}</code> and
<code>{service}</code> at runtime.</p>
