rbenv folder overwritten?

[AlJohri]

Not the best bash scripting, but I got around the issue like this for now:

echo $DOTFILE | egrep -q '(^rbenv/$|pyenv/$|nodenv/$)' && continue

mkdir -p $(pyenv root)
mkdir -p $(rbenv root)
mkdir -p $(nodenv root)

for FOLDER in rbenv pyenv nodenv; do
  if [ -d "$FOLDER" ]; then
    for DOTFILE in $FOLDER/*; do
      DIRFILE="$DOTFILESDIR/$DOTFILE"
      HOMEFILE="$HOME/.$DOTFILE"
      if [ -L "$HOMEFILE" ] && ! [ -d $DOTFILE ]
      then
        ln -sfv "$DIRFILE" "$HOMEFILE"
      elif ! [ -d $DOTFILE ]
      then
        rm -v "$HOMEFILE"
        ln -sv "$DIRFILE" "$HOMEFILE"
      else
        echo "ignoring $DOTFILE because it is a directory"
      fi
    done
  fi
done

will attempt to rm -rv the ~/.rbenv folder if the script is run a second time.

Yep but as it's a symlink that's quick enough for us not to care. If it's a preexisting directory it'll kill it.

Ah, I see. Perhaps then you can add to the .gitignore:

rbenv/*
!rbenv/default-gems

I ran into the situation where I had the setup script run the first time but I didn't have the rbenv folder in my dotfiles. When I tried to later add the rbenv folder to my dotfiles, it attempted to delete the existing rbenv installation as it wasn't a symlink but an actual file.

Definitely a fringe case though.

There’s already `rbenv/*/` which implies your version; you can’t get Git to add an empty directory to a repository so unfortunately this is just going to be unfixable, sorry!
