Dotstree is a dotfiles manager. "Another one??" I know, right. Here's the highlights:
- The dotfiles are replaced with symlinks
- Every program's deployment spec is stored in its own folder
- Install commands can be part of the deployment
- You can cherrypick which programs to deploy based on which directory trees you pass to dotstree (hence the name)
- This can be used to handle alternate platforms and dependencies
- You can check and sync programs against their spec
- Written in Python, released to Pypi
You can install it with pip install dotstree. To see basic usage info, try dots --help. I can provide a tldr page if there's interest - just open an issue. Your dotfiles specs are expected to be in some kind of directory tree that you pass to dotstree. Normally this would be a git repo - but dotstree doesn't care.
Run pytest . in the repo root.
