Project description

dotboy

A Python script to help with dot file management

Dependencies:

GitPython

Configuration:

Configuration is done in a json stored in '~/.config/dotboy/config.json'

An example configuration json is:

{ "repo_path": "/projects/dot-files", "paths": [ { "installed_path": "", "repo_path": "", "files_to_copy": [ ".tmux.conf", ".zshrc", ".zprofile", ".zpreztorc" ] }, { "installed_path": "~/.config", "repo_path": ".config", "files_to_copy": [ "nvim/init.vim", "nvim/coc-settings.json" ], "dirs_to_copy": [ "alacritty", "sway", "waybar", "i3", "polybar", "picom", "dotboy" ] }, { "installed_path": "/efi/EFI/refind", "repo_path": "refind", "files_to_copy": [ "refind.conf" ] } ] }

repo_path is the path to the repository that you want to store the dot files in.

paths is a list of json objects, each corresponding to a path where dot files are stored on the system. Each object in paths needs two variables with two other optional variables. "installed_path" is the path to the installed location of the dot_files. "repo_path" is the path that you want the files stored within each host-folder inside of the repo. "files_to_copy" and "folders_to_copy" are both lists of files and folders, respectively to/from the installed path and repo path.
