Sinc

A cross-platform dotfiles manager

WIP

This repository is still development. Use at your own lisk.

Installation

$ cargo install sinc

Getting started

Config file

Sing looks for the config file in the following location:

$SINC_CONFIG_DIR/sinc/sinc.toml
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sinc/sinc.toml
$HOME/.config/sinc/sinc.toml

Minimal config

The following is the minimal config:

[default]
dir = "~/.dotfiles"
sync_type = "symlink"

[[dotfiles]]
path = "sinc"
target = "~/.config/sinc"

If you run the sinc command in this state, a symbolic link is created from ~/.dotfiles/sinc to ~/.config/sinc.
In other words, the config files mentioned earlier have been moved to ~/.dotfiles/sinc and a symbolic link has been created to the original location.

(dir + path)         (sync_type)            (target)
 │                    │                    │
 V                    V                    V
~/.dotfiles/sinc  <<== symbolic link ==>>  ~/.config/sinc

Now, this config does not support applications that have different location for their config file depending on the OS.

To solve this, you can use sys(os) instead of specifying the value directly.

[[dotfiles]]
path = "bat"
  [dotfiles.target."sys(os)"]
  default = "~/.config/bat"
  windows = "~/AppData/Roaming/bat"

Configration value

`Config`

Key	Value type
default	`Table`
dotfiles	`Array of Tables`

`Config.default`

Key	Value type
dir	`String`
sync_type	`SyncType`

`Config.dotfiles`

Key	Value type	Default value
dir	`String`	`Config.default.dir`
sync_type	`SyncType`	`Config.default.sync_type`
target	`String` or `Array<String>`
path	`String`
enable	`Boolean`	`true`
hook_add	`String`	`""`

The value set in hook_* will be executed as a command at the specified timing.

flowchart LR
Start([start]) ===> enable
enable{enable} ===> |true| sync
enable ---> |false| End
sync[[sync]] ===> |success| hook_add
hook_add[[hook_add]] ===> End
sync ---> |fail| End([End])

`SyncType`

Value	Description
`"symlink"`	If you are using Windows, you need administrator rights
`"junction"`	Windows only / used to link to folder
`"hardlink"`	Behave like the original file / used to link to file
`"copy"`	Just copy

`Config.**.sys(...)`

Name	Key	Key example
`sys(os)`	`os_info::Type` (lower case)	`arch linux`
`sys(os_type)`	`std::env::consts::OS`	`linux`
`sys(os_family)`	`std::env::consts::FAMILY`	`unix`

example

[default]
dir = "~/.dotfiles"
sync_type."sys(os)" = { default = "symlink", windows = "junction" }

[[dotfiles]]
path = "bat"
  [dotfiles.target."sys(os)"]
  default = "~/.config/bat"
  windows = "~/AppData/Roaming/bat"

[[dotfiles]]
path = ".gitconfig"
target = "~/.gitconfig"
  [dotfiles.sync_type."sys(os)"]
  default = "symlink"
  windows = "hardlink"

`Config.**.which(...)`

Name	Key
`which(COMMAND)`	path to `COMMAND` or `""` to be selected if `COMMAND` does not exist

example

[[dotfiles]]
path = "neofetch"
target = "~/.config/neofetch"
  [dotfiles.enable."which(neofetch)"]
  # Enabled if the "neofetch" executable exists somewhere in $PATH.
  default = true
  "" = false

[[dotfiles]]
path = "hyprland"
target = "~/.config/hypr"
  [dotfiles.enable."which(wrappedhl)"]
  # Enabled if the "wrappedhl" executable exists in "~/bin/wrappedhl" in $PATH.
  default = false
  "~/bin/wrappedhl" = true
