README
✨ Learn how I made d○tman from scratch ✨
## Demo 🔥
## 🌠 Features
* **Single file manager** (Portable)
* **No config files for dotman** (No `.dotrc` 🤦)
* **No useless arguments** (single command 😎)
* **Easy to use**
* **Extendable ⚒**, _Available as a Template_
* **Fewer Dependencies**
- **`Git`**
- **`Bash>=3`**
## Wait! it's not written in a fancy language
And it doesn't have to be. Why?
- Your focus should be on your **dot files & scripts** rather than on a dotfiles manager or how to use it.(_Wait I forgot what was the command to push files? Is it `dt push` or `dt --push`_)
- Creating a overly-complex solution for something simple should not be the goal.
## 💠 Installation
### via `curl` ➰
```shell
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-v/dotman/master/tools/install.sh)"
```
### via `wget` 📥
```shell
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-v/dotman/master/tools/install.sh)"
```
### via `httpie` 🥧
```shell
sh -c "$(http --download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-v/dotman/master/tools/install.sh)"
```
> **dotman** is installed by default in `/home/username/dotman`, your `$HOME` directory.
Now run **`dotman`** for 1st time set-up.
1. Enter repository URL (without `.git`).
2. Specify folder you want to clone the dotfile repo to (relative to `/home/username/`).
3. Open up new terminal 🚀.
### Manually (you ok ?)
1. Just grab **dotman.sh** from [Releases 🔼](https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/dotman/releases) and store it anywhere on your system.
2. Change file permissions to be 🏃 executable.
```bash
chmod +x dotman.sh
```
3. Set alias for dotman _(optional)_. Alternatively modify your `.bash_aliases` file.
```bash
alias $(pwd)/dotman.sh=dotman
```
4. Run **dotman**.
```bash
dotman.sh
```
## Usage
Just run **`dotman`** anywhere in your terminal 🖖.
```bash
dotman
```
Leave the rest to it.
## What else 👀
dotman exports 2 variables in your default shell config (`bashrc`, `zshrc` etc):
1. `DOT_DEST`: used for finding the location of dotfiles repository in your local system.
2. `DOT_REPO`: the url to the remote dotfile repo.
You can change these manually if any one of the info changes.
