yadm upgrade

yadm upgrade migrates an existing yadm installation to the layout used by the current version. In particular, it relocates the yadm repository and configuration from the legacy ~/.yadm directory to the XDG-compliant locations under $XDG_DATA_HOME/yadm and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/yadm (typically ~/.local/share/yadm and ~/.config/yadm).It also normalizes encrypted file storage and other on-disk layouts that have changed across yadm releases. Run this once after upgrading yadm so subsequent commands find files in the expected places.

The upgrade is a one-time, mostly idempotent operation; running it on an already-upgraded repository is safe but performs no work. Back up your dotfiles repository before running it on systems with custom yadm hooks or unusual configurations.
