Metadot: a dotfile management system ==================================== Inspired by https://github.com/holman/dotfiles Instalation ----------- Get the code: git clone --recursive git://URL/dotfiles.git .dotfiles Then add .dotfiles folder to your path. Usage ----- List existing modules: metadot ls Load a module: metadot load Load all modules: metadot load --all Layout ------ - ~/.dotfiles: where all dotfiles modules are stored - ~/.backups: backups of old config files - ~/.custom: your custom configuration where you can override parameters Module format ------------- Modules rest at ~/.dotfiles/modules and can be git submodules. File format is: [path/][.dot][.link] Which means files - with a .link extension are linked at $HOME. - with a .dot.link extension are converted to a dotfile: vimrc.dot.link is linked as ~/.vimrc. - with other extensions are ignored. Also, - file structure is preserved: file apps/scripts.link is linked as $HOME/apps/scripts. - nested structures are allowed: config.dot/awesome.link is linked as $HOME/.config/awesome Todo ---- - Make modules as git submodules. - Better integration with scripts project. - Module descriptions. - Basic dependency.
