dotman

Manage your dotfiles easily.

Installation

python3 setup.py install

Running

• dotman -a APP_NAME Links all the files under directory APP_NAME to its suitable place relative to your home directory.

Dotfiles layout

        i3
        `-- .config
            `-- i3
                `-- config

So we have here a directory named i3 in the very top indicates APP_NAME and under it a tree of config paths. Here it means config file is supposed to be linked under .config/i3/config related to the home directory.

Why?

I used to use stow, and for some reason it stopped working correctly, and I really didn't want to spend time reading perl code :(
