What information does the tool sync?

It syncs all data about installed mods as well as their state (if they are disabled or not).
It won't sync the loader version (Forge or Fabric).

Other information are untouched. You can pretty much keep several profiles in sync with each other without requiring the same name, a similar path or even the same loader version.

Do I need to restart the launcher every time?

No.
It's only important to restart the launcher after the initial setup and when you feel the launcher isn't up-to-date with the latest changes.

Why are mods not being enabled/disabled?

The state of mods is synced and they are indeed enabled/disabled but the launcher isn't able to update this state live.

If you see that a slider doesn't have the correct state, restart the launcher.

What can I do to manually run the tool?

You should not do that. However, it's possible via terminal by running:

java -jar AlmostPacked.jar <-flag>

The flag specifies which tasks the tool will perform. Omit the flag to see help instructions.

IMPORTANT: When you run the tool manually, make sure your active directory is the folder where the JAR file is located or it will break.

Can I trigger the hooks again?

The post-merge hook can't be triggered again when your local files are already up-to-date and usually there is no need to.

The pre-push hook can be triggered by pushing again. It will run every time.
