"""dotfilemanager.py - a dotfiles manager script. See --help for usage
|
|
and command-line arguments.
|
|
|
|
The idea is that you have some folder called the TO_DIR (defaults to
|
|
~/.dotfiles), where you move all the dotfiles that you want to manage,
|
|
e.g.
|
|
|
|
~/.dotfiles/
|
|
~/.dotfiles/_muttrc
|
|
~/.dotfiles/_nanorc
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
You can backup and synchronise this directory between multiple hosts
|
|
using rsync, unison, a version-control system, Dropbox, or whatever you
|
|
want. When you run `dotfilemanager link` it will create symlinks in a
|
|
folder called the FROM_DIR (defaults to ~), e.g.
|
|
|
|
~/.muttrc -> ~/.dotfiles/_muttrc
|
|
~/.nanorc -> ~/.dotfiles/_nanorc
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Leading underscores in the filenames in TO_DIR will be converted to
|
|
leading dots for the symlinks. You can also link files without leading
|
|
underscores, and you can link directories too, just place them in TO_DIR
|
|
and run `dotfilemanager link`.
|
|
|
|
Per-host configuration is supported by putting __hostname at the end of
|
|
file and directory names in TO_DIR. For example if TO_DIR contains files
|
|
named:
|
|
|
|
_muttrc
|
|
_muttrc__kisimul
|
|
_muttrc__dulip
|
|
|
|
Then on the host dulip a symlink FROM_DIR/.muttrc will be created to
|
|
TO_DIR/_muttrc__dulip. On a host named kisimul _muttrc__kisimul will be
|
|
linked to. On other hosts _muttrc will be linked to.
|
|
|
|
(To discover the hostname of your machine run `uname -n`.)
|
|
|
|
`dotfilemanager tidy` will remove any dangling symlinks in FROM_DIR, and
|
|
`dotfilemanager report` will just report on what link or tidy would do
|
|
without actually making any changes to the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
TODO: support recursing into subdirectories, so I can have something
|
|
like this in TO_DIR:
|
|
|
|
_config
|
|
_config/openbox
|
|
_config/openbox.kisimul
|
|
_config/openbox.debxo
|
|
_config/terminator
|
|
_config/terminator.dulip
|
|
|
|
i.e. host-specific files and directories inside a subdirectory of
|
|
TO_DIR. Want to allow for untracked files in the FROM_DIR/.config on the
|
|
host, so don't symlink subdirectories of TO_DIR themselves but recurse
|
|
into them and symlink any files inside, then recurse into any
|
|
subdirectories and repeat.
