* 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
* Add `mkrc -o` to install host-specific filesGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-02
| | | | | | | | To make it easier to manage host-specific rc files, `mkrc` now supports a `-o` option. This causes the specified file to be added to the host section named for the current machine. This option is in conflict with the `-t` option.
* Wording improvements to rcm(7)Gravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | Again thanks to Rebecca Meritz (@rmeritz). The word I was looking for was, indeed, "empty".
* Incorporate final round of rcm(7) feedbackGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-01
| | | | | | | Some good suggestions from Rebecca Meritz (@rmeritz) again, including having the tag, host, and multiple dirs sections use enumerated lists like the quick start sections, and using the phrase "common problems" instead of "caveats".
* Re-write the tutorialGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Rebecca Meritz (@rmeritz) for feedback on rcm(7), I have restructured it and re-written the quick start section. Much of the details about the sync algorithm have moved into rcup(1). The new rcm(7) covers a quick start for those with existing directories, including caveats for `install` scripts, dotted filenames, and non-~/.dotfiles directory names; a quick start for those without anything; and motivating sections for "advanced" features like tags, host-specific files, and multiple directories.
* Re-write the manpages in mdocGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-28
| | | | | | Convert all the manpages to mdoc. This gives us access to the mdoc suite of tools, which includes HTML conversion, plus mdoc is a more expressable and natural format in general.
* Add tutorial-style documentation: rcm(7)Gravatar Mike Burns2013-07-28
Add a manpage with a tutorial, named `rcm`. This covers how to get started from nothing, how to convert an existing dotfiles directory, and why to use suite at all.
