dotmanager

Perl script to automate the process of install and update our classical dotfiles repositories.

Usage:

Clone/Fork this repository and copy 'dotmanager.pl' to your dotfiles repository
Open dotmanager.pl and configure the hash %files to your repository needs, you must map the file name with it's folder in your system. Example:

my %files = (
    ".emacs" => $base_dir
);

Changes base_dir the right base directory of your system (usually ~/), using base_dir variable let your %file hash to be less verbose.

To install the current files of the repository to the system, run perl dotmanager.pl --install
To update the repository with changes you have done in the system, run perl dotmanager.pl --update
dotmanager now asks for each file individually whether you want to install/upgrade it. To skip this individual checking, use the --skip option. For example perl dotmanager.pl --install --skip

TODO:

Simplify the way to ignore files.
