Platform specific dotfiles sync: yes, you can have different files synced based on your current OS

dotthefiles's Issues

Accept `target` as a string

It would make sense to have to specify a string for a single target rather than having to do an array every time.

Add support for json config

It should be possible to write the config in .json as well

Setup release action

Add `ls` command to print relevant dotfiles

Use standard stdin to read a line from CLI when asking

Looks like the standard library can already do what I need. No need to use 3rd party solution for that I hope.

CI: limit release workflow to only "v*" tags

Rewrite mapping tests to use structs rather than reading files

Fallback to copy

When linking is not possible (e.g. when root and home are on a separate partitions) fallback to copy.

It raises the problem of syncing, but it will be a problem for another time.

Print out nice error messages when config file is not found or is a directory

Also exit with code 1

Hide border chars in the table

Assume skipping by default

Right now, if you want to skip, you should use -s flag, which is not the philosophy I'd like to follow. By default it should only link things that could be linked

1. Source exists
2. Destination exists (parent directories exist and destination file does not exist)

If destination file exist, then require to use -f flag, to force the override of such entries.

To do

1. Remove -s flag
2. Add -f flag
3. Skip by default, force with the flag

Write README.md

CI: validate PR name based on the commitlint config

Will have to create a basic github action for that to check PR name with given .commitlint.yml config; and then use it here :)

Skip linking process by default for `ln` if destination file already exists

• add param -f to enforce deleting of the currently present destination file
• print our warning if destination file found during the linking process and say that it was skipped and what to do to override it should the user want it

Allow to use distros of linux in the config

Right now you can just use linux, but obviously you should be able to use other types of linux together as well as the general linux.

CI: setup commit checking

Ideally, I'd like to use commitlint or something similar, but need to research available options before setting another workflow up.

Add support for `toml` config

Find a way to use sudo to create links in root places, without breaking the rest of the app

At the moment if you have e.g. /usr/local/bin destination, it will require you to run sudo, but if you do that, the ~/ shortcut will break and cause other destinations to fall into the /root/ folder, or something like that.

Preferably disallow using sudo with dotthefiles and only require to enter a password if you need to move things to secured places.

CI: Add a workflow to label new PRs based on the name

Change the way `files` are mapped

Right now you have to write this for it to work

map:
  files:
    - name: .Xresources
      to: ~/

I think it would make a lot more sense and a lot less boilerplate code to write this instead:

map:
  files:
    .Xresources: ~/
