Gaming Config Linker\r\n\r\nEasily symbolically link your gaming configs, so that they can be version controlled in a single repository\r\n\r\n3 types of linking are supported:\r\n\r\n- Single file linking\r\n- Directory linking\r\n- All files within directory linked individually via the `linkAll: true` property\r\n\r\n```text\r\nsymbolic link created for C:\\Users\\username\\Saved Games\\Respawn\\Apex\\local\\settings.cfg \u003c\u003c===\u003e\u003e C:\\gaming-configs\\apex\\settings.cfg\r\nsymbolic link created for C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\\csgo\\cfg\\autoexec.cfg \u003c\u003c===\u003e\u003e C:\\gaming-configs\\csgo\\autoexec.cfg\r\nsymbolic link created for C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Team Fortress 2\\tf\\cfg\\autoexec.cfg \u003c\u003c===\u003e\u003e C:\\gaming-configs\\tf2\\autoexec.cfg\r\nsymbolic link created for C:\\Users\\username\\Documents\\My Games\\Warfork 2.1\\basewf\\config.cfg \u003c\u003c===\u003e\u003e C:\\gaming-configs\\warfork\\config.cfg\r\nsymbolic link created for C:\\Users\\username\\Documents\\My Games\\Warfork 2.1\\basewf\\huds \u003c\u003c===\u003e\u003e C:\\gaming-configs\\warfork\\huds\r\n```\r\n\r\n## Usage\r\n\r\n- Create a new repo designed for housing all of your gaming configs and move at least 1 config into it\r\n- Add as git submodule `git submodule add git@github.com:denolfe/GamingConfigLinker.git _linker` or `git submodule add https://github.com/denolfe/GamingConfigLinker.git _linker`\r\n- Create a `config.json` file modelled after `config.example.json` in this repo\r\n- Create simple script to execute the script called `link.cmd` with the following contents\r\n\r\n```cmd\r\npowershell _linker/link.ps1 config.json\r\n```\r\n\r\n- Execute that script from cmd prompt\r\n\r\nIf all goes well, you should see output of the linking commands.\r\n\r\n```cmd\r\nsymbolic link created for C:\\Game1\\config.cfg \u003c\u003c===\u003e\u003e C:\\MyConfigs\\Game1\\myconfig.cfg\r\n```\r\n\r\nIf there are any errors, ensure your file paths are all correct.\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdenolfe%2Fgamingconfiglinker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdenolfe%2Fgamingconfiglinker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdenolfe%2Fgamingconfiglinker/lists"}
