dotcp

Copy selected dotfiles to directory

What is it?

As said, dotcp copies your selected dotfiles to directory you indicated. For example, dotcp ~/awesome-dotifles/config/ will copy your selected dotfiles into ~/awesome-dotfiles/config/. How to select dotfiles, you would ask? dotcp has it's own config. E.g:

i3
fish
alacritty

(dotcp's config file path should be $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dotcp/config, but you can indicate it using --config option)

Now, if you would run the previous command, dotcp will copy i3, fish and alacritty config directories into ~/awesome-dotfiles/config/.

Why?

Just wanted to have something similar to this script but customizable and extensible.

Installation

As any other shitty python program it can be easily installed via pip: pip install --user dotcp

Usage

At first just run dotcp without any flags, indicating destination directory that does not yet exist: dotcp destination-dir/

Then, to update content of destination-dir you will have to use one of these flags: --overwrite or --append.

  • --overwrite does the same thing as rm -r destination-dir && dotcp destination-dir
  • --append appends your selected dotfiles into destination-dir saving its content

Examples:

  • dotcp --overwrite destination-dir/
  • dotcp --append destination-dir/
