## Track Your Package Managers
You have all your dotfiles in sync between your systems and you know you can set up a new system instantly. You get a new computer, download your dotfiles and think you are ready to go. But now you remember - I need to install a lot of system packages to get my setup working...
Now there is a solution to this problem! Packtrak tracks your package managers and keeps a manifest containing all the packages you want your system to have.
The manifest is easily revisioned and can just like your dotfiles be shared across systems.
## Install
### Go
Use go install to compile locally.
``` bash
go install github.com/lucas-ingemar/packtrak/cmd/packtrak@latest
```
## Quick Usage Guide
Install a package:
``` bash
packtrak [manager] install [package]
```
Remove a package:
``` bash
packtrak [manager] remove [package]
```
Install a depencdency:
``` bash
packtrak [manager] install --dependency [dependency]
```
Remove a dependency:
``` bash
packtrak [manager] remove --dependency [dependency]
```
Synchronize manifest and system:
``` bash
packtrak sync
```
See the [documentation](docs/cmd/packtrak.md) for more information.
## Autocompletion
Packtrak generates its own autocompletion for the commands. Simply put the following command in your `.bashrc`, `.zshrc` or the corresponding file for your setup:
``` bash
source <(packtrak completion [shell])
```
## Manifest File
The wanted package state for the managers is listed in `~/.config/packtrak/manifest.yaml`. This file can be shared between computers to sync the state between them. When installing and removing packages this file will be updated.
An example of the file layout:
``` yaml
dnf:
global:
dependencies:
- copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org/phracek/PyCharm
packages:
- sway
- kanshi
- btop
conditional:

### Global
Everything under `global` will be installed on all machines with this file. This should contain the all the packages that you want to share between all your systems.
If a package or dependency is installed without any arguments they will be added under the global category.
### Conditional
Under `conditional` different rules can be applied. These rules are used to only install packages or dependencies on systems that match the rules.
#### Group
The group is matched against what is defined in the config file under `groups`. If the group in the manifest matches one of the groups in the config file the rule is applied.
#### Host
The host matches the hostname of the system. If it is a match the rule is applied.
