Manage your dotfiles without shenanigans.

Dots

Manage your dotfiles without shenanigans.

• No symlinks
• No complex setups
• Just brute force rsync.

Installation

1. Clone the repo where you want to keep you dotfiles repo:

git clone [email protected]:thales-maciel/dots.git && \
    cd dots && \
    rm -rf .git && \
    git init

2. Edit the dots.conf file with the globs you want to include. Make sure to include parent directories. For example:

.bashrc
.config/ # this is needed if we want something from this directory
.config/alacritty/
.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
.config/nvim/*** # this matches everything under .config/nvim/

make sure to include trailing slashes to specify directories

Usage

Pull dotfiles from $HOME to the current directory:

./dots in

Push dotfiles from the current directory to $HOME:

./dots out

Run dry to check config:

./dots in --dry-run
./dots out --dry
./dots out -d

Requirements

rsync must be installed. You probably already have it installed.
