DotfileLinker Build Status Dependency Status Code Climate

A simple command-line utility to help you symlink your dotfiles to your home directory. Just run dotfile_linker from your dotfiles directory.

Description

This gem aims to provide a simple, unopinionated solution to managing symlinking your dotfiles, allowing you to save them in an isolated, versioned directory and keep your home directory clean. Similar tools exist, but tend to impose a structure on how you manage your dotfiles.

Installation

This gem is hosted on rubygems.org, so simply install with:

$ gem install dotfile_linker

Usage

Run dotfile_linker from your dotfiles directory. The script will then run through each file that isn't already symlinked in your home directory and ask if you want to symlink it. The -u option unlinks and restores files to your home directory.
