# Silo

Item database and part management system for FreeCAD.

## Overview

Silo is an R&D-oriented item database with:

- **Configurable part number generation** via YAML schemas
- **FreeCAD integration** with git-like commands (checkout, commit, status)
- **Revision tracking** with append-only history
- **BOM management** with reference designators and alternates
- **Physical inventory** tracking with hierarchical locations

psql -h psql.kindred.internal -U silo -d silo -f migrations/001_initial.sql

# Configure
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
# Edit config.yaml with your settings

# Run server
go run ./cmd/silod

# CLI usage
go run ./cmd/silo register --schema kindred-rd --project PROTO --type AS
```

## Configuration

See `config.example.yaml` for all options.

## FreeCAD Integration

Install the workbench:

```bash
ln -s $(pwd)/pkg/freecad ~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/Silo
```

Then in FreeCAD:
- `silo checkout PROTO-AS-0001`
- `silo commit -m "Updated dimensions"`
- `silo status`
