dotmanager

==========

Perl script to automate the process of install and update our classical dotfiles repositories.

Usage:

------

1. Clone/Fork this repository and copy 'dotmanager.pl' to your dotfiles repository

2. Open dotmanager.pl and configure the hash %files to your repository needs, you must map the file name with it's folder in your system.

Example:

```

my %files = (

    ".emacs" => $base_dir

);

```

3. Changes `base_dir` the right base directory of your system (usually ~/), using base_dir variable let your %file hash to be less verbose.

* To install the current files of the repository to the system, run `perl dotmanager.pl --install`

* To update the repository with changes you have done in the system, run `perl dotmanager.pl --update`

* dotmanager now asks for each file individually whether you want to install/upgrade it. To skip this individual checking, use the `--skip` option. For example `perl dotmanager.pl --install --skip`

TODO:

-----

Simplify the way to ignore files.
