💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with NetConfigPulse

Create a fully-functional mini-application called 'NetworkGuardian' that leverages the 'NetConfigPulse' package to manage network device configurations. NetworkGuardian should serve as a robust tool for network administrators to ensure the integrity and security of their network devices by regularly backing up configurations, storing versioned snapshots, and generating diffs to detect changes.

Step 1: Setup the Project
- Initialize a new Python project and install 'NetConfigPulse' along with other necessary packages like argparse for command-line argument parsing.

Step 2: Define Core Functions
- Implement functions to connect to network devices using NetConfigPulse.
- Develop a function to fetch current configuration from a device and save it as a snapshot.
- Create a feature to compare two configurations and highlight differences.

Step 3: Add Version Control
- Integrate a simple version control system within the application to store multiple versions of each device's configuration.
- Allow users to specify tags or comments for each version.

Step 4: User Interface
- Design a user-friendly CLI interface that allows users to select actions such as backing up configurations, viewing diffs, tagging versions, etc.
- Ensure the CLI provides clear prompts and error messages.

Suggested Features:
- Automatic scheduling for regular backups.
- Notification system for significant configuration changes.
- Integration with cloud storage services for offsite backups.
- Support for different types of network devices and protocols.

The 'NetConfigPulse' package will be utilized throughout the project for its core functionalities, including fetching and saving configurations, handling versioning, and generating diffs. Your task is to create a complete, functional application that showcases these capabilities effectively.
