usage

keep a user configuration file

1. Let’s say this repository is saved as dotfiles and you are in it.
2. Create a directory with a name of your choice, prepending _.
3. cd inside the new directory.
4. Pretending that you are at $HOME, recreate the location of the configuration file.
   • For example, say you want to back up mimeapps.list. Create the path of folders ...dotfiles/_mime/.config, and write the file ...dotfiles/_mime/.config/mimeapps.list.

Note: Sometimes, a subpath may not exist, and that will affect both keeping and loading. Say you want to keep $HOME/.config/foo/bar.txt, but $HOME/.config doesn’t exist yet. If you call ./stow.tcl now to load everything, a link called $HOME/.config will be created referencing somewhere in dotfiles. When other files get put into $HOME/.config, all those files (even those you don’t want to keep) will actually reside in this repository!

For this reason, edit the fend list inside stow.tcl. For the above example, add .config to the list (to link foo/) or add .config/foo (to link bar.txt).

load/restore all user configuration files

Note: If you don’t want to load some _configuration, place it in disabled first.

1. Go to the dotfiles root directory.
2. ./stow.tcl

load entire system configuration

IMPORTANT: Customised to my system. Will most likely bork your system.

WIP

1. Go to the dotfiles root directory.
2. ./load.tcl
   • presumes: drives prepped; base system and tcl installed; internet available

remove a user configuration file.

WIP

1. Find the link and manually rm it.
