# Dotfiles Manager
A simple script to **sync dotfiles and directories** to a central _emit_folder_ for backup or management.
## Usage
### 1. Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yashkathe/Dot-Files-Manager.git
```
### 2. Installation
```bash
make install
```
### 3. Populate d_manager.json
IMPORTANT: It is expected that the emit_directory should be located in current user's home directory
```bash
make edit # edit the config file
```
```text
"dot_files": {
"directories": [
*path of directories to track*
],
"files": [
*path of files to track*
]
},
"emit_folder": *path of directory where all dot files & directories should be colleced*,
```
### 4. Execute
For local changes only when you want to collect all the given dot files and collect them in emit directory
```bash
make sync
```
For remote changes when you want to push all your dot files to your remote repository
```bash
make remote-sync
```
Performs both the above operation together
```bash
make full-sync
```
### HELP
```bash
make help # program manual
```
---
Everytime you update a dot file / config file you can just run **_make run_** to sync all dot files with your emit directory
