[Feature Request] A "full checkout" / "full backup" option about dsc HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi! I like that, just wondering if that is not already there with the export command? It seems very close at least. But maybe I missed some detail.

I actually have missed that option 😅
So I was trying to use export --all and ran into an issue (#112) 😅 😅

In any case, it got some files in place and I see that the file hierarchy is a bit challenging to understand because it uses indexed hashes which are less of the human friendly type. I do like the metadata.json file, though.

This brings to the table the question whether a change of the hierarchy or an additional option (--pretty-hierarchy 😂) is even something you're interested to add.
If you see a value in such thing I can either change the title of this issue or open another one for a discussion on that :)

Good :) and thanks for the report!

There is an option --link-naming which allows to use the name as the link target instead of the id - not sure if you noticed. You can also use --folder-link and --folder-delimiter to create a hierarchy that mirrors the folder of an item. The link source (the items folder) stays the same, though. Would this create a close enough "pretty" hierarchy? :) If not, what kind of hierarchy do you think of?

I think the issue #114 would then solve this by allowing to create custom hierarchies. So I'm closing this one.
