Wagon

Utility to make dotfiles portable with symbolic links

Installation

cargo install wagon

Usage

Create the dotfiles in your git-controlled directory.

Place dotfiles in a subdirectory such as the following.

tree dotfiles ├── bash │ └── .bashrc ├── direnv │ └── .config │ └── direnv │ ├── .gitignore │ └── direnvrc ├── git │ ├── .config │ │ └── git │ │ └── ignore │ └── .gitconfig ... ├── python │ ├── .config │ │ ├── flake8 │ │ └── yapf │ │ └── style │ ├── .pylintrc │ └── .pythonstartup ├── tmux │ └── .tmux.conf └── zsh └── .zshrc

Then execute the following command, and symbolic links to your files will be created in your home.

console wagon link bash git tmux ...

You can also use the copy subcommand to copy files.

console wagon link bash git tmux ...

Configuration

The .wagon.toml file controls the behavior of the command.

dest field

By default, the command links the configuration file under your home. If you want to change this behavior, set the dest field.

toml "dest" = "/"

init field

The init field can be used to initialize the application to use each configuration file.

toml [[init]] command = "brew" args = ["install", "direnv"] os = "macos"

For example, you can use the following command to run the initial configuration.

wagon init direnv
