Dotman

Dotman is a very lightweight and simple Dotfile Manager for GNU/Linux operating systems.
It uses a single script, written fully in bash, which is auditable, requiring no build and dependencies.
Dotman also inspired by pacman that archlinux used, which make all the command easy to remember.

These are the features dotman have for now:

Features	Description	Status
List	Show the list of configuration files and folder inside the dotfiles	✅
Sync	Sync/Copy the config files/folder into the dotfiles	✅
Remove	Remove config files/folder from dotfiles	✅
Apply	Apply configuration from dotfiles to local	✅
Syncall	Sync all the config files/folder inside the dotfiles	✅
Applyall	Apply all the config from dotfiles into local	🚧

Overview

Dotman uses a path that you set to be the dotfiles directories. Then you can manage your configuration into/from dotfiles with simple commands.

1. Create your directory to store the dotfiles:

   mkdir ~/dotfiles

2. Set the directory you created to be dotman's dotfile path:

   dotman set ~/dotfiles

3. Add your configuration into the dotfiles

   dotman sync nvim

4. To remove configuration from the dotfiles:

   dotman remove nvim
   

5. You can run dotman syncall to sync all configuration inside dotfiles after making some change in current configuration

Note

you can also sync or remove bunch of configuration in one time: dotman sync nvim obsidian rofi foot hypr dunst

Important

dotman doesn't apply symlink way to sync. If you want to, you can use 'stow' that really perfect for it.

Caution

be in mind if you do dotman syncall, the configuration in the dotfiles will be overwrited with modified current configuration
