Simple Dot Files

• A simple, highly configurable, dotfile manager.

Requirements

• Python3
• Some bash scripting knowledge

About

• I don't like managing my dotfile in a single giant kludgy file
• Also, don't like ansible's or other config management tools abstraction away from bash
• Define your package in a small handful of bash scripts
  • depends.sh - returns 0 or 1 if dependencies are installed
  • exists.sh - returns 0 or 1 if the package exists on the system already
  • install.sh - script to install the package
  • remove.sh - script to remove the package
  • source.sh - command(s) to source for the package.

Usage

1. Create your config file
   • see config-macos-bash.yaml for a documented example
2. Create your packages
   • run python3 simpledot.py -f <your config file name> -c <your package name>
   • You will see a directory created in your vendor-directory folder with your package name with empty scripts
3. Fill out one or more of the scripts in the package
   • all commands in install.sh will be run if exists.sh returns 1 and depends.sh returns 0
   • all commands in the source.sh will be concatenated into a sources.sh file to add to your .bash_profile/.bashrc
4. Add your new package name to your config file under the packages key
5. run python3 simpledot.py -f <your config file name> -r
   • this will install all of your install.sh files and create a sources.sh file to add to your .bash_profile
