Metadot: a dotfile management system
====================================
Inspired by https://github.com/holman/dotfiles
Instalation
-----------
git clone --recursive git://URL/dotfiles.git .dotfiles
Some configuration files depends on the "scripts" repository to
be cloned at ~/apps/scripts.
Backups of your old files can be put into .dotfiles/backups.
Layout
------
- ~/.dotfiles: where all dotfiles plugins 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/]<name>[.dot][.link]
That means:
- files ending with a .link extension are linked at $HOME.
- files with a .dot.link extension are converted to a dotfile: vimrc.dot.link is symlinked as ~/.vimrc
- file structure is preserved: file apps/scripts.link is linked at $HOME/apps/scripts.
- all other files are ignored.
Todo
----
- Metadot application to ease symlink and module management.
- Put modules as git submodules.
- Standardize module layout.
- Better integration with scripts project.
- Grab ideas from other projects.
