sidoma

Simple Dotfile Manager

What does this application do?

Automatic linking

By default sidoma will create symlinks from all directories in the dotfile directory to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

~/
└── dotfiles/
    ├── nvim/
    ├── bspwm/
    └── polybar/

After running sidoma links create, the following symlinks have been created in .config:

~/
└── .config/
    ├── nvim    ➔ ../dotfiles/nvim/
    ├── bspwm   ➔ ../dotfiles/bspwm/
    └── polybar ➔ ../dotfiles/polybar/

What if there are some folders I don't want linked to ~/.config?

To override the default behavior create a .link file inside any directory. An empty link file will result in the folder being ignored.

Manual linking

The .link file can be used to specify symlinks manually, overwriting the default behavior.

$ cat ~/dotfiles/bash/.link
bashrc ~/.bashrc

The following directory structure:

~/
└── dotfiles/
    └── bash/
        ├── bashrc
        └── .link

After running sidoma link create:

~/
└── .bashrc ➔ dotfiles/bash/bashrc
