gkill - GOLang Kill Process
**BETA:** This project is in active development. Please check out the issues and contribute if you're interested in helping out.
## gkill
`tl;dr:` `gkill`, a.k.a GOlang Symbolic Link (symlink), is an open-source software built-in with the main aim of being a personal alternative to **GNU Stow**.
As `GNU Stow`, `gkill` is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on the filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place.
With `gkill` it is eeasy to track and manage configuration files in the user's home directory, especially when coupled with version control systems.
## How to install
### Homebrew
To install gkill, run the following [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) command:
```sh
brew install waldirborbajr/gkill/gkill
```
### Go
Alternatively, you can install gkill using Go's go install command:
```sh
go install github.com/waldirborbajr/gkill@latest
```
This will download and install the latest version of gkill. Make sure that your Go environment is properly set up.
**Note:** Do you want this on another package manager? [Create an issue](https://github.com/waldirborbajr/gkill/issues/new) and let me know!
## How to use
The main goal of `gkill` is to be as simple as that, `easy peasy lemon squeezy`, with few commands and straight to the target.
```sh
# To create a link to $HOMR
gkill l
# To force overwrite existing link : **TODO** not implemented
gkill f -f
# To remove (kill) all symblinks : **TODO** not implemented
gkill k
# To remove a specific symblinks : **TODO** not implemented
gkill r symlink-name
# To print all symlink created : **TODO** not implemented
gkill p
```
## .gkill-ignore`
You can add files/directories to ignore list, so when execute `gkill` the content will no be linked.
```sh
touch .gkill-ignore
```
