dotctrl 2.0.1

Dotctrl is a package for managing your dotfiles on Linux.

---

---

Initially, Dotctrl was created just to control “dotfiles files”, however, in the course, it became more than that. Dotctrl is now a maintainer of any file and folder type within its own private repository.

This is too much!

Dotctrl will manage the elements of the user’s HOME directory; running on top of a configuration file (dotctrl.json) that contains the paths to the origin location of the elements.

All elements managed by Dotctrl are kept in the repository/folder “dotctrl”.

Features

• Language support: American English and Brazilian Portuguese;

• Create (or not) multiple repositories for your elements;

• Abandon the creation of huge manual symlinks;

• O armazenará a mesma estrutura de caminho que seu local ($HOME) original;

• Manage single or bulk elements;

• Restore repository elements to their original location with a single command;

• And much more :)
