config-keeper2 1.0.0a2

CLI tool for keeping your personal config files in repository

config-keeper

User-friendly CLI for keeping your personal files or directories in a repository.

In a few words config-keeper does following:

• Collects information about what files on current machine it should keep
• Makes a temporary copy of all these files and pushes it to specified repository
• Pulls files from a repository later and puts them to the right places

Typical use cases are:

1. You spend a lot of time writing launch/build tasks or making config files for a project you develop, but these stuff cannot be placed along with the project itself.
2. You have to switch between work computers from time to time while you working on same project and you have to send yourself archives with bunch of updated files.
3. You want to save some system-wide config (like .bashrc) to use it later or quickly restore if something goes wrong.

Finally, you want to automate these stuff.

Key features

• Create projects as logical groups of files to sync and a repository
• All configuration in a single YAML file - update it using CLI or by hands using validate command
• Terminal auto-completion
• User-friendly error messages if something goes wrong
