ckdots

Manage your dotfiles across all your devices

ckdots manages your dotfiles by moving them to a designated config directory, then you can simply share this directory across all your devices with your familiar tools, such as OneDrive, Busybox, iCloud Drive, or a git repo.

Install

To install the ckdots and save all your dotfiles at /Dropbox/cli.config/:

git clone https://github.com/cybertk/ckdots.git
CKDOTS_CONFIG=/Dropbox/cli.config/ ./ckdots/bin/ckdots init

Then you can sync the config directory /Dropbox/cli.config/ on all your devices, and install ckdots on them.

Getting started

Move the dotfile to your shared config directory

ckdots moves the dotfiles to a designated config directory(defaults at ~/.ckdots) and creates a softlink at the original place. To save a dotfile, for example, .gemrc:

ckdots add .gemrc

Show current status of all your dotfiles

$ ckdots status
