confgit
Confgit is a Git overhead for version control of your config files. The main difference between confgit and any other config file version system is it’s simplicity. It makes version control and migration of config files safe and easy.
Installation
How does it work?
With confgit you do not have to learn anything new. You only need to set up a directory where confgit will copy all files you register. In result, you have all your config files centralized in one directory where you can edit and maintain your config files with git.
Usage
init
Initialize a git repository for your config files in current directory and generates config file in ~/.config/confgit.yml if you do not specify other location using --config argument.
confgit init
confgit init --config /alternative/location/of/config/file/confgit.yml
sync
Writes content of complementary files of registered files to their origins.
confgit sync
update
Writes content of origins of registered files to their’s complementary files.
confgit update
backup
Creates a zip file with backup of all files in confgit repository.
confgit backup
You can specify the name of the backup file.
confgit backup my_backup_monday.zip
If the name of the backup does not end with .zip it will be automatically added.
include
Registers a file or a directory into a confgit watch list.
confgit include nvim.init
Including directories will register all its files recursively.
confgit include ~/.config/
exclude
Excludes a file or directory from the registered files.
confgit exclude zoom.conf
Excluding directories will exclude all its files recursively.
confgit exclude .config/rofi/
other
Every other command will be called as git argument in directory with registered files.
confgit pull -> git pull
