Dotty uses a JSON-formatted config located on the root of your dotfile repository. Currently, dotty can create/check directories, link or copy files/directories, install packages and execute shell commands.

{ "directories": ["~/emacs.d"], "link": { "source": "dest", "zshrc": "~/.zshrc" //directories can be linked too "emacs/lisp/": "~/.emacs.d/lisp" }, "copy": { "source": "dest", "offlineimaprc": "~/.offlineimaprc" }, "install_cmd": "pacaur -Syu", "install": [ "zsh", "emacs" ], "commands": [ "emacs -batch -Q -l ~/.emacs.d/firstrun.el" ] }

usage: dotty.py [-h] [-r] config positional arguments: config the JSON file you want to use optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -r, --replace replace files/folders if they already exist
