types

sandwichcake types lists every registered pack type with its schema version, default compression, and type-specific options. Read-only — it only reflects the types compiled into the binary.

What it shows

$ sandwichcake types
binary (schema 1, default compression gzip)
other (schema 1, default compression gzip)
patch (schema 1, default compression gzip)
  --base         expected base repo@digest this patch applies to (optional) (default "")
venv (schema 1, default compression zstd)
  --lock         path to a lock file (uv.lock, poetry.lock, requirements.txt) to attach as metadata (default "")
  --python       embedded|system: whether the venv carries its own interpreter (default "embedded")
weight (schema 1, default compression none)
  --source       provenance, e.g. hf://org/name@rev, https://, s3:// (default "")

Each type appears as <name> (schema <n>, default compression <alg>), followed by one indented line per type-specific option with its default.

Notes

The same options are accepted as flags by pack <type> — see pack <type> --help and the Pack Types page for what they mean.
The schema number is recorded in each layer’s com.github.baba.sandwichcake.layer.schema annotation at pack time.
