This is a collection of my dotfiles. Also included is a script for fetching them and deploying them.
operator.sh is a simple bash script that can collect dotfiles for storage in
a git repository such as this one, as well as deploy those dotfiles.
Usage:
./operator.sh backup # backup current dotfiles
./operator.sh deploy # install dotfiles from repo
./operator.sh diff # obvious
For each of these commands, the script consults the targets file. This
contains a list of "files of interest" which the operator will work with.
The backup command will iterate through the files specified in targets,
copying their current state on the system into a timestamped folder
(cp ~/<file> ./backups/<timestamp>/<file>) Note: these backups are ignored
by git; to preserve a backup, overwrite the contents of ./files/ with the
contents of the timestamped folder and commit.
The deploy command will iterate through the files specified in targets,
copying their contents from this repository into the system
(cp ./files/<file> ~/<file>).
The diff command will iterate through the files specified in targets,
displaying their diff between this repository and the system. This gives a
preview of the changes that would be applied by ./operator.sh deploy.
