+# Hub Snapshot Tools
+
+Hubzilla developers frequently need to switch between branches that might have
+incompatible database schemas or content. The following two scripts create and
+restore complete snapshots of a Hubzilla instance, including both the hub web
+root and the entire database state. Each script requires a config file called
+`hub-snapshot.conf` residing in the same folder and containing the specific
+directories and database details of your hub.
+
+# Config
+
+The format of the config file is very strict. There must be no spaces between the
+variable name and the value. Replace only the content inside the quotes with your
+configuration. Save this file as `hub-snapshot.conf` alongside the scripts.
+
+ # Location of hub root. Typically this is the location of the Hubzilla repo clone.
+ HUBROOT="/var/www/"
+ # MySQL database name
+ DBNAME="hubzilla"
+ # MySQL database user
+ DBUSER="hubzilla"
+ # MySQL database password
+ DBPWD="akeufajeuwfb"
+ # The target snapshot folder where the git repo will be initialized
+ SNAPSHOTROOT="/root/snapshots/hubzilla/"
+
+# Snapshot
+
+Example usage:
+
+ sh hub-snapshot.sh my-hub.conf "Commit message for the snapshot"
+
+**hub-snapshot.sh**:
+
+ #!/bin/bash
