dotm

dotm: Dotfiles Organized, Tracked, and Managed.

dotm is my take on $HOME and .config directory backup solutions. Originally authored in March 15, 2022 with this commit, dotm now is a stable and well-thought solution.

features

• backup/deploy to/from a remote repository
• add comments to backups
• create tags with backups & deploy tags
• track deletions (in a seperate commit)

technical features

• use LUT to improve backup/deploy times if deploy_list is not changed
• message and log at the same time
• provide AUR package

how to use?

1. acquire dotm
2. dotm init --local -u https://example.org/~user/dotfiles
3. create whitelist deploy_list at .config/dotm/deploy_list
4. dotm backup

Congrats! You've successfully committed your configuration.
