USAGE: jtd

OPTIONS: -h, --help Print help information

SUBCOMMANDS: help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) install Install a specified JTD repository sync Sync the currently installed JTD repository with the provided remote repo. ```

About

jointhedots works by reading a "jtd.yaml" manifest file located within your dotfile repository. The manifest contains a mapping of file to installed location (amongst other things), allowing for JTD to automatically install configurations. pre_install and post_install commands can also be specified, allowing for additional control over installation.

WARNING: Be very careful about installing dotfiles via untrusted manifests. The preinstall and postinstall blocks allow for (potentially malicious) code execution

Roadmap

• Prevent syncing when the local dotfiles are from an older version of the repo available upstream

Example
