Dotulous

Dotulous is an easy to use dotfile manager, working off the concept of "profiles" that you can load and hotswap.

Dotfile profiles can load/unload files, and run shell commands to reload your system for you. This lets you swap to another dotfile setup with a single command.

Installation

To build from source, clone the repository and run cargo install --path . - Ensure ~/.cargo/bin is included in your $PATH.

Usage

[!CAUTION]
Profiles can run arbitrary commands under your user, and can load/unload files from anywhere in the system.

ALWAYS audit profiles you don't trust, especially ones you download from online even if you believe it to be from a trustful source.

Run dotulous load {profile} to load a profile onto your system. You can unload it by running dotulous unload.

To create a new profile, run dotulous create {profile} and modify the profile's directory inside ~/.dotulous. For much more detailed information, see the wiki.
