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 or replace your dotfiles with
~/.dotfiles/metadot load profile
A backup will be saved.
Usage
-----
List existing modules:
metadot ls
Load a module:
metadot load <module>
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/]<name>[.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
----
- Split: metadot, dotfiles and modules should be separate repositories.
- Profile: automatic $PATH inclusion for installed script repositories.
- Check if module is correctly installed.
- Track loaded modules.
- Module descriptions and dependencies.
- Module unloading and restoration.
- Integration with scripts project.
- More file types:
- .sample: copied if no origin file exists
- .sh: added to the profile
- .mkdir: are simply created
- .cp: are copied
- .template: are copied and transformed according to environment or config variables
