econf's Introduction

econf

`econf -h`

todo
====
- modify install() such that if the first argument
    is the name of a directory, run all scripts
    in said directory.

configuration
=============
Econf reads a configuration file called `econf` in your configuration repository.

`noconfirm`
===========
don't ask user for input, same as -f option

`confirm`
=========
ask for user input, same as omitting the -f option.
Confirm and noconfirm can be used in tandem to allow certain parts
of the configuration to be confirmed

    dosomething that doesn't want to be confirmed
    confirm
    do something that wants to be confirmed

`dir`
=====
`dir`: link a directory to another directory:

    dir directory another_directory

`install`
=========
`install` executes an installation script located in `install/`

example:
    install vim-plug
    ...

    $ ls install/
        vim-plug

vim-plug gets executed

`files`
=======
`files`: link files in directory to another directory as hidden files

    files directory another_directory

`:host`
=======
:host appended at the end of a token will expand to :$(hostname) allowing different files to
be used for different machines.

    files xinit:host ~/

would expand to

    files xinit:hostnameofmachine ~/
