.trove is a CLI tool used to manage dotfiles.

.trove is intended to be used alongside a repository, but also works fine if initialized in a standard directory.

It gives you the ability to map, store, and version control (if used in a git repo) your dotfiles, as well as an easy deployment/removal process.

Usage:

dot-trove is the baseline executable. Invoking will give help messages, as will using --help on any command.

Commands:

• init <PATH> : initializes a trove and store. If one already exists, it allows trove to find the store for other commands
• add <PATH> <NAME>: add a file or directory to the trove under a specified name will automatically replace the path to your home directory with $HOME for dynamic deployment
• remove \[-p <PATH> | -n <NAME>]: takes a path OR a name of an entry and removes it from the trove will place the stored file in the expected host_path. Also follows the $HOME usage
• deploy [-c <CATEGORY> | -n <NAME>]: deploys all stored files optionally, a specific name or all of a given category
• pack [-c <CATEGORY> | -n <NAME>]: packs all stored files optionally, a specific name or all of a given category
• status: shows current trove configuration

Future improvements:

• have an enabled flag on each entry and have status show green/red for each entry whether they are active
