Dotconfig

A tool for symlinking configuration files from a central repository to their respective locations on the system in a repeatable, configurable way.

Install

cargo install dotconfig

Configuration

By default dotconfig will look for the directory ~/.cfg, which is assumed to contain all of your dotfiles as well as symlinks.yml, which is a listing of all of the desired symlinks you would like dotconfig to make for you.

The format of symlinks.yml should be as follows:

```yaml links: - link: path: ~/.zshrc origin: zshrc - link: path: ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml origin: alacritty-config.yml

...

In this example, `dotconfig` would create the following two symlinks: ~/.zshrc -> ~/.cfg/zshrc ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml -> ~/.cfg/alacritty-config.yml ```

Usage

dotconfig [OPTIONS]

Options

-c, --config <CONFIG> Specify the YAML file that lists your desired symlinks [default: symlinks.yml] -d, --dir <DIR> Specify the directory that holds your config files [default: $HOME/.cfg] -h, --help Print help information -V, --version Print version information

Example usage

In the following example, dotconfig will read ~/my-dotfiles/links.yml, and all links will be made to the ~/my-dotfiles directory.

sh dotconfig -d ~/my-dotfiles -c links.yml
