dotmgmt

dotmgmt

The stupid-simple way to manage your dotfiles.

Use cases

Say you have a dotfiles directory in your home folder, containing folders and/or files that you want symlinked in your home directory:

dotmgmt

Done. Your files have been symlinked.

A record of it is then kept under ~/.dotmgmt/mgmt in json format.

This file is updated everytime dotmgmt adds or removes a symlink, so you always have an up-to-date record of which files you are managing.

Say you want to remove the files you have just symlinked:

dotmgmt -reset

Done. Your symlinks have been removed, and the original files have not been touched.

USAGE:

• Remove a specific symlink:

dotmgmt -del ~/symlink/path

• Create a symlink for a specific file:

dotmgmt -make /path/to/dir

• Path to the folder you want to create symlinks from:

dotmgmt -p /path/to/dir (default ".")

• Remove all the symlinks for the files in the current directory:

dotmgmt -reset
