Release v0.6.4

Release v0.6.4

🎉 Highlights

This release adds a raw output mode to the dots diff command, making it easier to integrate dotfile status checks into scripts and automation workflows. The new --raw flag outputs a machine-readable format similar to git status --porcelain.

✨ What's New

• Raw output mode for dots diff: Use --raw flag to get machine-readable output with status prefixes:

  • M prefix for modified files (content differs between repo and home)
  • D prefix for deleted files (exists in repo but missing from home)

  Example usage:

  h dots diff --raw
  # Output:
  # M .zshrc
  # D .gitconfig

🐛 Bug Fixes

No bug fixes in this release.

🔧 Technical Changes

• Updated dotsDiff function signature to accept an options object for extensibility
• Raw mode bypasses the detailed diff output, only listing files with their status codes

Release v0.6.3

Release v0.6.3

🎉 Highlights

This release introduces the re-add command for dotfiles management, making it easier to sync modified local files back to your dotfiles repository. Additionally, all interactive prompts now handle Ctrl+C gracefully, providing a cleaner user experience when cancelling operations.

✨ What's New

Dotfiles Management

• New re-add command: Quickly sync modified local dotfiles back to your repository with h dots re-add (or h dots readd). The command scans for locally modified files, lets you select which ones to update, and automatically commits and pushes changes.
• Improved Ctrl+C handling: All interactive prompts (confirmations, checkboxes, selects) now exit gracefully when interrupted, instead of throwing unhandled errors.

Shell Completions

• Zsh completions for dots commands: Full autocompletion support for all h dots subcommands including the new re-add command. File path completion is now available for dots add and dots rm commands.

🔧 Technical Changes

• Added isExitError() and exitGracefully() helper functions to standardize prompt interruption handling across all interactive operations
• Wrapped all @inquirer/prompts calls (confirm, checkbox, select) in try-catch blocks for consistent error handling
• Extended zsh completion script with dots_subcommands array and proper case handling for nested commands

Release v0.6.2

Release v0.6.2

🎉 Highlights

This release significantly improves the dotfiles conflict resolution workflow by introducing configurable diff tool support and an interactive menu system. Users can now choose their preferred diff/merge tool (vimdiff, neovim, meld, VS Code, etc.) and resolve conflicts more efficiently with a streamlined interface.

✨ What's New

Configurable Diff Tool Support

• Added new diffTool configuration option accessible via h config
• Supports popular diff tools out of the box:
  • vimdiff (vim)
  • nvim -d (neovim)
  • meld
  • opendiff (macOS FileMerge)
  • VS Code (code --diff --wait)
  • Custom commands
• Auto-detects a sensible default based on your $EDITOR environment variable

Improved Conflict Resolution Workflow

• New interactive menu when encountering file conflicts during dots sync, dots apply, and dots diff
• Options to view inline diff, open in external diff tool, apply changes, or skip—all from a single menu
• External diff tool integration allows reviewing changes in your preferred editor before deciding
• Menu loops back after viewing diffs, letting you inspect changes multiple times before committing to an action

🔧 Technical Changes

• Refactored path resolution in dots add and dots rm to properly handle relative paths from current directory
• Added validation that paths must be inside home directory
• Extracted diff tool detection and spawning into reusable utility functions (detectDefaultDiffTool, getDiffToolArgs, openExternalDiff)
