Installation

Easy to install with cargo just use the following command:

bash cargo install dotz

or if you want to update dotz is the same command.

Usage

For use dotz you need to transfer all your dotfiles that you want manage to a folder and just run.

! Note: The folder must follow the same hierarchy as the one you want them to be installed in.

Example of folder structure:

```bash dotfiles/ ├── .config/ │ ├── alacritty/ │ │ └── alacritty.yml │ └── bspwm/ │ └── bspwmrc ├── .zshrc ├── .vimrc

Home/ ├── .config/ │ ├── alacritty/ │ │ └── alacritty.yml │ └── bspwm/ │ └── bspwmrc ├── .zshrc └── .vimrc ```

And then run the following command:

bash dotz [path to dotfiles folder]

Also you can specify the path where you want to install the dotfiles:

bash dotz [path to dotfiles folder] [path to install dotfiles]

Or you can use repo command for install the dotfiles from a repository of github (You need to have git installed).

bash dotz repo [github repository url]

the default path where the repository will be cloned is "$HOME/.dotfiles" but you can change it with the following command:

bash dotz repo [github repository url] [path to dotfiles folder]

Node: In this case the folder need to be empty or not exist (dotz will create the folder).

If you want to install the dotfiles in a different path you can use the following command:

bash dotz repo [github repository url] [path to dotfiles folder] [path to install dotfiles]

for all the commands you can use the following options:

-h, --help Show help message -f, --force Force overwrite of existing files -s, --static Create static files -v, --version Show version --verbose Show verbose output
