Project description
dotcp
Copy selected dotfiles to directory
What is it?
As said, dotcp copies your selected dotfiles to directory you indicated.
For example, dotcp ~/awesome-dotifles/config/
will copy your selected dotfiles into ~/awesome-dotfiles/config/
.
How to select dotfiles, you would ask? dotcp has it's own config. E.g:
i3
fish
alacritty
(dotcp's config file path should be $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dotcp/config
, but you can indicate it using --config
option)
Now, if you would run the previous command, dotcp will copy i3, fish and alacritty config directories into ~/awesome-dotfiles/config/
.
Why?
Just wanted to have something similar to this script but customizable and extensible.
Installation
As any other shitty python program it can be easily installed via pip:
pip install --user dotcp
Usage
At first just run dotcp without any flags, indicating destination directory that does not yet exist:
dotcp destination-dir/
Then, to update content of destination-dir
you will have to use one of these flags: --overwrite
or --append
.
--overwrite
does the same thing asrm -r destination-dir && dotcp destination-dir
--append
appends your selected dotfiles intodestination-dir
saving its content
Examples:
dotcp --overwrite destination-dir/
dotcp --append destination-dir/
