DT

release tests docs crates.io

DT allows you to sync/populate configuration files at will. It currently provides a CLI tool dt-cli.

Usage

The command line interface dt-cli accepts a path to the configuration file as an argument and performs the syncing process specified in the file.

Configuration guides and detailed usages can be found in the documentations.

Example

A simple working configuration file to sync all files from ~/dt/nvim to ~/.config/nvim that matches *init.vim can be written as:

[[local]]
name = "Neovim Configs"
base = "~/dt/nvim"
sources = ["*init.vim"]
target = "~/.config/nvim"

⚠️ STOP HERE if you don't know what you are doing, or have not backed up existing files under ~/.config/nvim.

Save above config to ~/.config/dt/cli.toml and run

$ dt-cli -c ~/.config/dt/cli.toml

to start syncing. Note the path in this example (~/.config/dt/cli.toml) is also the default path, so the below command (calling dt-cli with no argument) does the same thing as above:

$ dt-cli
