# ⚡️ Bolt (my dotfiles 📂)

Bolt is a command line tool I'm working on to manage my dotfiles. This allows me to

maintain a consistent environment between...

1. My personal and work laptops (MacOS).

2. A linux PC (Fedora)

3. WSL2 (Ubuntu)

## Planned Features 📝

- Compare existing files with the dotfiles in the repository and print a diff

to stdout.

- Symlink dotfiles to the specified location or overwrite the existing files.

- Backup existing files before overwriting them (`.bak` extension).

- Restore backed up files.

- List all the dotfiles in the repository.

- List all the backed up files in the specified location (`$HOME/.dotfiles` by

default).

- Show comparison to bash commands that can do the same thing (something like

`bolt learn `).

- Eventually I want to learn nix and flakes and may incorporate or use that

instead of this tool 🤷🏽.

## Usage 💻

```bash

bolt --help

bolt  --help

```

## Setup 🛠

### Install Golang

I use [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/) for version management. You can install the

required version of Golang (1.23.2) by running:

```bash

asdf plugin add golang

asdf install go 1.23.2

```
