What is Cinch?

Section titled “What is Cinch?”

Cinch has two distinct parts that work together:

The CLI tool — a Unix pipe. Reads stdin, writes stdout. Drop it into any shell workflow:

Terminal window
git diff HEAD~1 | cinch push   # on your server
cinch pull                      # on your local machine

The relay server — a single Go binary that holds clips until they are pulled. Self-host it on any VPS or Docker host, or use the hosted instance at api.cinchcli.com.
