dotsman

dotsmanv3

dotsman is a script to help with installing and editing dotfiles!

• Install config files in this repo by symlinking
• Quickly edit config files using rofi

It is written to have as little dependencies as possible - almost nothing!

• rofi (obviously)
• sh (POSIX-compliant)
• envsubst (optional)

How to use

1. Fill up the items.ini file, adding a section for each files to appear on the menu. An example:

   [home-manager]
   file=$HOME/nix/home/home.nix
   posthook=home-manager switch --flake ~/nix/#heyzec --impure |& nom
   

   • file is the path to the config file, which can include variables.
   • posthook is the shell command to run upon editor exiting

2. To install the config file for a program, run dotsman install <program>:

   ./dotsman.sh install nvim
   # ln -s -v /home/heyzec/dotfiles/nvim /home/heyzec/.config/nvim
   

   To install all configs, run dotsman install all.

3. To open the rofi menu, run dotsman rofi. It would make sense to set a keybind that calls this script in an appropriate place, e.g. window manager
