copydots

Simple CLI tool to copy your dotfiles. Made with Bashly.

Create a config file, specify which files you want to copy and keep track of them. Can also set custom output directory for individual files/directories or all.

Simple tracking system:

• If a copy gets deleted and its still in the config file, tries to get it back.
• If the original file/directory gets deleted, the copy gets deleted too.
• If the entry gets deleted, the file/directory is not tracked anymore, so it doesn't gets restored after deleted.
