Bash>=3
And it doesn't have to be. Why?
- Your focus should be on your dot files & scripts rather than on a dotfiles manager or how to use it.(Wait I forgot what was the command to push files? Is it
dt push
ordt --push
) - Creating a overly-complex solution for something simple should not be the goal.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-v/dotman/master/tools/install.sh)"
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-v/dotman/master/tools/install.sh)"
sh -c "$(http --download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-v/dotman/master/tools/install.sh)"
dotman is installed by default in
/home/username/dotman
, your$HOME
directory.
Now run dotman
for 1st time set-up.
- Enter repository URL (without
.git
). - Specify folder you want to clone the dotfile repo to (relative to
/home/username/
). - Open up new terminal π.
- Just grab dotman.sh from Releases πΌ and store it anywhere on your system.
- Change file permissions to be π executable.
chmod +x dotman.sh
- Set alias for dotman (optional). Alternatively modify your
.bash_aliases
file.
alias $(pwd)/dotman.sh=dotman
- Run dotman.
dotman.sh
Just run dotman
anywhere in your terminal π.
dotman
Leave the rest to it.
dotman exports 2 variables in your default shell config (bashrc
, zshrc
etc):
DOT_DEST
: used for finding the location of dotfiles repository in your local system.DOT_REPO
: the url to the remote dotfile repo.
You can change these manually if any one of the info changes.
