# dotfiles-rs

[![CI](https://github.com/wckdouglas/dotfiles-rs/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/wckdouglas/dotfiles-rs/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[![crate](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/dotfiles-rs.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/dotfiles-rs)

This is a simple dot files manager for syncing dot files across machines.

## Installation

```
$ git clone https://github.com/wckdouglas/dotfiles-rs.git
$ cd dotfiles-rs
$ cargo install --path .
```

## Usage

The dot files (i.e. config files) to be managed are defined in a yaml file (e.g. `data/dotfiles.yaml`).

### Saving the current settings

We can use the `save` subcommand:

```
$ cd dotfiles-rs
$ dotfiles-rs --dotfile-yaml data/dotfiles.yaml save --dest-dir ../dotfiles --dry-run
[2023-03-26T14:46:43Z INFO dotfiles_rs] [Dry run] Copied /Users/wckdouglas/.zshrc to ../dotfiles/.zshrc
[2023-03-26T14:46:43Z INFO dotfiles_rs] [Dry run] Copied /Users/wckdouglas/.wezterm.lua to ../dotfiles/.wezterm.lua

[2023-03-26T14:46:43Z INFO dotfiles_rs] You can now go to ../dotfiles and create a github repo!
```

This creates a new folder `../dotfiles`, and it can be versione-controlled by `git`:

```
$ tree -a -L 2 ../dotfiles
../dotfiles
├── .config
├── .config
│   ├── alacritty
│   │   └── alacritty.yml
│   ├── nvim
│   │   └── init.lua
│   └── zellij
│   └── config.kdl
├── .gitconfig
├── .gitignore_global
├── .ssh
│ └── config
├── .vimrc
├── .zshrc
└── README.md
```

Create a github repo:

```
$ cd ../dotfiles
$ git init -b main
$ git add *
$ git commit -am "Adding dot files"
$ git remote add origin
$ git push -u origin main
```

### Applying the settings on a new machine

You will have to provide an url to the `dotfiles` repo (``) that you created from the `save` step (e.g. `https://github.com/wckdouglas/dotfiles`)

```
$ cd dotfiles-rs
$ dotfiles-rs --dotfile-yaml data/dotfiles.yaml apply --url [email protected]:wckdouglas/dotfiles --ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa --dry-run

On m1 mac, if you see an error like this:

```
$ cargo run --

```

then, doing this may work:

```
