@github-actions github-actions released this 02 Aug 04:54

Initial release — a dual-mode dotfiles manager (snapshot + symlink) with native binary build.

Highlights

  • Dual-mode tracking: snapshot (versioned backups) or symlink (live-sync via links)
  • Native binary: build.sh compiles to ELF/Mach-O via vendored shc; --script fallback
  • Gitignore-grade .dotbakignore: ! negation, **/, trailing /, anchored patterns
  • Full CLI: init, add, remove, list, status, snapshot (create/list/restore/diff/clean/show), symlink-sync, deploy, archive, update, ignored, version
  • Global flags: --dry-run, --yes/-y, --quiet/-q; DOTBAK_YES=1, DOTBAK_DIR, NO_COLOR
  • Shell completions: bash, zsh, fish — auto-installed/removed by install/uninstall scripts
  • GitHub Actions: CI (ShellCheck + build + test on Ubuntu/macOS), release (platform binaries + portable script)
  • Self-update: dotbak update via GitHub Releases API with SHA256 verification
  • 148 tests: unit + integration via bats-core v1.14.0

Technical

  • Bash 4.0+, modular src/ layout, TOML config with schema_version + auto-migration
  • ShellCheck clean (SC2155, SC2088, SC2034, SC2120, SC2207 all resolved)
  • Atomic install/update (rename, not overwrite), safe symlink operations with rollback
  • dotbak-dev for development without install
