Each group can have:

• pkgs arch packages
• aurs aur packages
• dotfiles dotfiles entries from the config.ini file

Example:

nvim:
  pkgs:
    - clang
    - neovim
  dotfiles:
    - nvim

hypr:
  aurs:
    - hyprland
    - xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

dotcopy.py

This script can copy dotfiles from the repo to their correct places on the host system by using the put option. It can also copy dotfiles from the host system to the repo by using the get option.

In the config.ini file, you can specify which files should be copied to which location.

# Example for a file
[zshrc]
source = .zshrc
destination = ~/.zshrc
file = true

# Example for a directory
[nvim]
source = .config/nvim
destination = ~/.config/nvim/

The usage is as follows:

# Copy dotfiles from the repo to the host system
python dotcopy.py put <entry>
# Copy dotfiles from the host system to the repo
python dotcopy.py get <entry>
