Archive Automatic1111 files on this machine before you change the install.
Stable Diffusion runs on your own PC. Keep Automatic1111 workspace folders on disk: dated copies of model and prompt files before a patch.
Patches move Automatic1111 workspace paths without warning.
Meant for a local repo or a config file on disk. No hosted workspace.
Two editions of the same tool:
- CLI — the source in this repo. Python 3.11+, local files only.
- Desktop build — Windows / macOS installer on the setup page.
- Locates Automatic1111 user data on Windows and macOS.
- Archives workspace folders without touching the live install.
- Optional preview so nothing is written until you say so.
- Prints the paths it used.
Search traffic for Automatic1111 is the product name plus desktop.
Keep one official-looking helper per title.
- Windows 10 or 11 for the desktop build
- Python 3.11 or newer only if you run the CLI from this repository
- Runs locally on the PC that starts it; no account required for the CLI
Python 3.11 or newer. From the repository root:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py --help
--preview prints the plan and does not write. --out sets an output folder when the command supports it.
