Description

A toolset and library for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images, often used for inspection, repair, customization, and migration workflows.

It can change files inside guest disks without booting the virtual machine. That power is useful for administrators, but mistakes can damage images or expose private data, so backups and correct target selection are important.

How to run

guestfish

Commands: guestfish
