# Dotbot: A Cute Lil' Dotfiles Manager
I made a simple little dotfiles manager because I got tired of creating symlinks all the time.
## Installation
You can install `dotbot` via the `gem` command:
$ gem install dotbot
Once you have it installed, either create a `~/.dotbot` file (YAML) with the following contents.
```
dir: ~/.dotfiles # or whatever your preferred location is
```
Optionally, instead of a .dotbot file, you can use environment variables, each of the pattern DOTBOT_<var>. For instance, you could execute some commands by saying
$ DOTBOT_DIR=~/shnargleflorp dotbot update
More commands and options to come later.
## Usage
### Track a New File
$ dotbot track <filename> [--git]
This command adds the file to your dotfiles repo and creates a symlink in the file's old location so it will stay updated. Use the `--git` flag to also add/commit/push to your remote dotfiles repo.
### Update Your Dotfiles
$ dotbot update
This command is pretty much just a `git pull` in your dotfiles repo.
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
