A script to manage your unix dotfiles.

• links all the files and folders given in config.json
• keeps the old files
• logs the changes made
• integration testing with docker

Motivation

Wanted to make own script for managing dotfiles

Parameters

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  read from FILE
  -o OPTION, --option OPTION
                        set OPTION without propting for one
  -p PRESET, --preset PRESET
                        specify preset

The format for dotfiles.json is the following:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "example": "github.com/example.git"
    },
    "links": {
        "<Destination>": "<Source>"
    }
}

You use different presets you have to create a new file, it needs to have the same name as the dotfiles folder!

Just remember to specify this preset on execution

Testing

# from project root
bash ./test/test.sh
