* Prefer RCRC environment variable over ~/.rcrcGravatar patrick brisbin2013-12-11
| | | | | | | | | * Centralize configuration loading in rcm.sh(.in) * Check for readability, not just existence Add RCRC notes to all manpages. Putting the environment variables in a table lines them up more neatly and definitively, across all output formats, and also follows the examples used by e.g. BSD ls(1).
* Add -kK for rcup and rcdnGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-16
| | | | | The hooks can be skipped using `-K`, if needed and they can be forced with the `-k` flag.
* Pre-up, post-up, pre-down, and post-down hooksGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are programs that, if they exist, will run before or after the syncronization/removal is run. Three use cases caused this: 1. The thoughtbot dotfiles will run a vundle installation set of commands after intitial synchronization. 2. I changed the location of `.bash_history` to `.bash/history` and wanted to move `.bash_history` to `.bash/history` after up to preserve existing history. 3. Moving from an existing old-style custom install script to `rcup` might require some cleanup; this happened in practice, and required a simple script.
* Add the COPY_ALWAYS optionGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The suite now honors the `COPY_ALWAYS` option in rcrc(5). This can be set to a space-separated list of file globs. Any file matching a glob is copied instead of symlinked. This is handy both for secure programs (`netrc`, `ssh/id_*`) and for programs that oddly re-write files (`weechat/*`). To always copy everything, use the `*` glob. This is reflected throughout the suite as follows: * lsrc now has a `-F` option which shows a symbol to indicate whether it is a symlink (`@`) or a copy (`X`). * rcdn only removes symlinks unless the file under question matches a `COPY_ALWAYS` glob, in which case it is removed regardless of whether it is a symlink. * rcup will copy instead of symlinking any file that matches any `COPY_ALWAYS` glob.
* Change `-e` to `-x`Gravatar Mike Burns2013-08-11
| | | | | | Since the `-e` flag was for exclude patterns, and since it's rare for a word with an `x` to come along, change the `-e` flag to `-x`. Better to do it now before a new release.
* rcdn only removes symlinksGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Picture this case: % ls -l ~/.a ~/.a -> ~/.dotfiles/a % tree ~/.dotfiles/a a `-- b `-- c `-- d `-- foo Ideally we would want `~/.a/b/c/d/foo` to be the symlink, and the rest to be actual directories. However, some people did it differently. Running `rcdn` on the above would previously have removed `foo` from `~/.dotfiles`. Now, it removes `~/.a` and nothing more.
* Inclusionary patterns: -IGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | The `-I` flag serves as an "undo" for the `-e` pattern. It overrides any matching exclusions, allowing for temporary listing/installation/removal. For example, if you want to try a `.pythonrc` but leave it in your `EXCLUDES` in rcrc(5), you can do: rcup -Ipythonrc pythonrc
* Introduce exclusion patternsGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lsrc(1), rcup(1), and rcdn(1) commands now take any number of `-e` flags, used to specify an exclusion pattern. This can also be controlled via rcrc(5), the `EXCLUDES` variable. An exclusion pattern specifies a file glob to skip. In the case of lsrc(1), any file matching the glob is not listed; in rcup(1) it is not symlinked; and in rcdn(1) it is not removed. The file glob can be preceded by the name of a dotfiles directory (separated from the file glob by a colon) to increase the specificity. Useful for: rcdn -e rcrc rcup -d work-dotfiles -e bashrc rcup -d ~/.dotfiles -d wife-dotfiles -d sys-dotfiles -e wife-dotfiles:tigrc
* Add rcdnGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-03
This program will remove all your rc files that are symlinked. This can be further controlled by `-d` and `-t`. For example, you can feel comfortable trying new rc files because you can quickly remove them again with `-d`. rcup -d thoughtbot-dotfiles rcdn -d thoughtbot-dotfiles Likewise, when you're done with Python just drop it: rcdn -t python
