L's Dotfile Repository
This repo is intended to contain all the configurations I require to get my environment setup on a new install. It is secondarily a template for other people to use who might have an interest in doing so.
How does this differ from GNU Stow, other than being less featured? NIH, mostly.
Howto
Move any desired files in your home directory into the git directory.
Add the filename to "linked_files", each on its own line.
Run "./make_links"
The output should indicate any links made ("linked ...") or files
that already existed ("... already exists, skipping") or removed
("... removed")
make_links usage
make_links will link out the contents of "linked_files" to your home dir
Syntax: make_links [-d|-h|-l|-n|-m]
options:
-d, --destructive Destructively link (removes existing symlinks AND regular files)
-h, --help Print this help
-l, --license Print the license for make_links
-n, --nondestructive Non-destructively link (existing files and links will be left alone)
-m, --make-documentation Converts documentation READMEs from rst to HTML
Prerequisites
make_links should not require bash, just the standard posix sh
Required Modifications
- .mpdconf
- update the directory paths at the top (/home/christopher) to the home directory of your machine, as well as the run directory uid if you're not user 1000
