* Add -C for copying filesGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some files prefer to be copies instead of symlinks---for example, OpenSSH ignores symlinks. Add the `-C` option to mkrc(1) and rcup(1) to handle this. mkrc -C .ssh rcup -C ssh This does raise a synchronization problem that I do not yet know how to solve; namely, what to do when the rc file changes. Perhaps a `rcsync` command is in order; perhaps `rcup` should handle this; perhaps `rcsync` is a better name for `rcup`.
* 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
* rcup -f and -iGravatar Mike Burns2013-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add the `-f` and `-i` options to rcup(1). `-f` will overwrite any file it doesn't recognize; `-i` will prompt each time, and is the default. For example: rm ~/.zshrc touch ~/.zshrc rcup -f # overwrite that .zshrc with the symlink rcup -i # prompt whether to overwrite that .zshrc
* 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
* 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.
* Flatten man and share directoriesGravatar Mike Burns2013-07-27
The `man` and `share` directories in this project had an unnecessarily deeply nested structure. Flatten it.
