${HOME}/.dotfiles
Version control for dotfiles and templates.
Purpose
${HOME}/.config and ${HOME} are a nightmare to version control. Maintaining a distinct dotfile directory then linking to those files is a much more sane way to cordon them off from the rest of the mess.
Usage
Make changes and maintain dotfiles in this directory.
TODO: Everything below
Define symlinks or dumper within the .links file.
Run ${HOME}/scripts/update_configs.pl to refresh links and dump templates.
Details
.links
This file contains a JSON hash of the configuration files available with either a path to be linked, or the name of a dumper contained within ${HOME}/scripts/dotfiles.
${HOME}/.spool/dotfiles.json
This file contains a JSON hash of timestamps at which each configuration was last linked or dumped. The ${HOME}/scripts/update_configs.pl script will use these times to know whether or not they need to be updated. It will do so if:
- it is a linked configuration file and the
.linksfile has been updated since it was last linked. - it is a dumpable template and the template has been updated since the last logged event.
