gdot is a python CLI that allows to easily roam one’s dotfile configs (such as ~/.bashrc and ~/.config/...) between multiple machines.

Getting started:

# On first login, associate your local files to a remote git repo
gdot attach github:myuserid

# Pull changes from your remote git store any time
gdot pull

# Add some files to track
gdot add ~/.bashrc ~/.config/htop/

# When you made some local changes, push them to your git store
gdot push

# Optionally, you can specify a commit message
gdot push -m "Changed qtile settings"

# See what's changed since you last push/pull-ed
gdot status
gdot diff

pickley install gdot            # Grab the latest
