Dotfiles

My dotfiles, managed with dotsync.

Structure

home/           ← mirrors $HOME — this is what gets synced

dotsync

Syncs dotfiles from the home/ directory into $HOME.

# Dry run — see what would happen
go run ./cmd/dotsync --dry-run

# Install dotfiles (skips existing files that differ)
go run ./cmd/dotsync

# Overwrite existing files
go run ./cmd/dotsync --force

# Backup existing files before overwriting
go run ./cmd/dotsync --backup

# Verbose output
go run ./cmd/dotsync --verbose

Conflict behavior

Situation	Default	--force	--backup
Target doesn't exist	Copy	Copy	Copy
Target exists, identical	Skip	Skip	Skip
Target exists, differs	Skip + warn	Overwrite	Rename → .bak, then copy

Install as a binary

go install ./cmd/dotsync

Then run dotsync from any directory inside the repo.
