Edit 2023: yadoma was written by @esc a couple of years ago and ended up no
longer maintained. It seemed that I was the only user, so I'm taking over
maintenance. However, given the simplicity of the tool, I kept everything
largely the same, including this README. Hence, "I" refers to @esc rather than
myself.

===================================
yadoma: yet another dotfile manager
===================================

This is my personal take on a dotfile-manager.

Principles
----------

* Pile of symlinks approach
* Declarative configuration
* Composable
* Versioning not baked in
* Infinitely hackable

Prior Art (or why I decided to roll my own)
-------------------------------------------

`vcsh <https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh>`_
    written in shell (yuck) and has git baked in
`dewi <https://github.com/ft/dewi>`_
    written in perl (yuck) and didn't grok how it worked
`dotfilemanager <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dotfilemanager/>`_
    has weird conventions and strange config

Edit: in 2018, I discovered that there are many more dotfile-managers out
there: https://dotfiles.github.io/

Example
-------

Given the yaml config ``config.yadoma`` in the directory ``config/public``::

    example-prog:
      files:
        -
          src: .rc_with_src
          dest: .rc_with_src_dest
        -
          src: .rc_with_out_dest
        - .plainrc

And, given the following files of the directory::

    .plainrc
    .rc_with_src
    .rc_with_out_dest

Doing::

    $ yadoma config/public

Will create the following symlinks in the users ``$HOME`` for the program
``example-prog``::


    .plainrc
    .rc_with_src_dest
    .rc_with_out_dest

TODO and Ideas
--------------

Many.
