An overengineered utility that essentially does this:
# Move the folder from /source/path to /new/path
mv -v "/source/path" "/new/path"
# Create a symbolic link from /source/path pointing to /new/path
ln -sv "/new/path" "/source/path"At first it was a tool to help me backup my games' save files.
I wanted this tool since I was copying manually my save files into my Google Drive folder, then creating a symbolic link from the save files location to the new location in the Google Drive folder. I wanted to simplify this, so I made this application.
This started as an app I needed and became an app I used to learn since I looked at the code and didn't like it, so I decided to refactor it and use it as a tool to learn:
- Using interface instead of actual objects to reduce coupling
- How to decouple the UI from the logic correctly again using interfaces
- How to unit test & mock in C#
- Dependency Injection
- S.O.L.I.D principles
- And much more...
At the time it does basic directory functions
Delete,Move,Create a symlink,Copy
It also combines the Move & Create symlink function for the actual main feature of the app.
This is actually the initial coupled version, which has not yet changed since I'm only on Linux right now, so even if I change the code, I wouldn't be able to test it.
This version does not have an actual interface, at the time only parse the arguments passed and process them.
- Implement the WPF GUI correctly (like the Gtk# one)
- Log all actions
- Repeat or revert the actions using config or log files
- Setup Code Coverage
- Implement i18n
- And much, much more..
