Declarative interface

[jlaffaye]

Be able to declare in a single file:

• /Applications/iTerm.app at position 2 -> If it is not already in the dock, add it, otherwise move it to position 2
• Remove /Applications/GarageBand.app, if its already not in dock, no error

Sounds interesting. Would this be a file that you would feed to dockutil and it would ensure the Dock was configured to match the declarations?

[jlaffaye]

Yes, exactly.
The goal is that I could run dockutil apply config.yaml on two different machines (with two different "current" dock config), it will make sure the dock matches what is configured in the file. And I dont have to know the current state of the dock to make the proper mutation calls, dockerutil will do that for me.

Thanks for taking the time to request and explain this. I like it and will work on it when I can.

I really like this idea too. We haven't started using docktutil yet, but being able to do so using a single declarative config file would be great.
