# Sinc **A cross-platform dotfiles manager**

🚧 WIP

This repository is still development. Use at your own lisk.

📦 Installation

shell $ cargo install sinc

⚡️ Getting started

Config file

Sing looks for the config file in the following location:

Minimal config

The following is the minimal config:

```toml [default] dir = "~/.dotfiles" sync_type = "symlink"

[[dotfiles]] path = "sinc" target = "~/.config/sinc" ```

If you run the sinc command in this state, a symbolic link is created from ~/.dotfiles/sinc to ~/.config/sinc. \ In other words, the config files mentioned earlier have been moved to ~/.dotfiles/sinc and a symbolic link has been created to the original location.

```haskell (dir + path) (sync_type) (target) │ │ │ V V V ~/.dotfiles/sinc <<== symbolic link ==>> ~/.config/sinc ```

Now, some of you may have noticed a problem here. \ Yes, this config does not support applications that have different location for their config file depending on the OS.

To solve this, you can use match(os) instead of specifying the value directly.

```toml [default] dir = "~/.dotfiles" sync_type."match(os)" = { default = "symlink", windows = "junction" }

[[dotfiles]] path = "nvim" [dotfiles.target."match(os)"] default = "~/.config/bat" windows = "~/AppData/Roaming/bat"

[[dotfiles]] path = ".gitconfig" target = "~/.gitconfig" sync_type."match(os)" = { default = "symlink", windows = "hardlink" } ```

🔧 Configration

config.default : Table

| Value | Type | | - | - | |dir|String| |sync_type|SyncType|

config.dotfiles : Array

| Value | Type | | - | - | |dir|Option<String>| |sync_type|Option<SyncType>| |target|String| |path|String| |enable|Option<Boolean>|

SyncType : String

| Value | Description | | - | - | |"symlink"|If you are using Windows, you need administrator rights| |"junction"|Windows only / used to link to folder| |"hardlink"|Behave like the original file / used to link to file| |"copy"|Just copy|

config.dotfiles.Value.match(...) : Table

| Value | Key | Example | | - | - | - | |match(os)|os_info::Type (lower case)|arch linux| |match(os_type)|std::env::consts::OS|linux| |match(os_family)|std::env::consts::FAMILY|unix|
