dots

Manage your dotfiles with ease, and pair with a parter if you want to.

Installation

dots [-fhlp] <profile>

  -f  Force removal of conflicting files in $HOME directory
  -h  Show usage/help information
  -l  List available profiles
  -p  Purge all symlinks created by this script

To get started, download this project.

git clone https://github.com/voraciousdev/dots && cd dots

Next, clone your dotfiles into the profiles directory. It helps to give the project an alias, because profiles are named from the directory.

git clone https://github.com/voraciousdev/dotfiles ./profiles/david

Usage

Symlink your dotfiles to $HOME with the dots command.

./bin/dots david

To list available profiles, use the -l flag. An active profile will be labeled as active in the list.

$ dots -l

Available profiles:
 - david (active)

Extras

Use it Anywhere

To use it from anywhere, you need to symlink the file into your PATH.

# assumptions:
# - you are in the dots git directory
# - you have /usr/local/bin added to your PATH
ln -s $(pwd)/bin/dots /usr/local/bin/dots
