Joep's Dotty repository

Cloning instructions

Install rubby, rubygems and git.

gem install dotty

dotfiles/

Dotty will symlink files and directories in the root your repos dotfiles/ directory, relative to ~. You can symlink stuff to sub directories of ~ by using the in+subdir directory naming convention.

Examples

dotfiles/.vim             => ~/.vim
dotfiles/in+.ssh/config   => ~/.ssh/config
dotfiles/in+a/in+b/c      => ~/a/b/c

dotty-symlink.yml

If you want more control over the symlinking, you can create a dotty-symlink.yml in the repo root.

Example

file_in_repo:.in_home_dir

dotty-repository.thor

If you want to do more than symlinking, you can create a dotty-repository.thor that implements the 'bootstrap' and 'implode' thor tasks. The class must be named "DottyRepository".

Example

class DottyRepository < Thor
  include Thor::Actions

  desc "bootstrap", "Bootstrap this repo"
  def bootstrap
    # Do stuff here
  end

  desc "implode", "Implode this repo"
  def implode
    # Do stuff here
  end
end
