Usage

If you have installed the dotfiles with package zsh, you can easily keep your dotfiles up-to-date using the update-dotfiles function. This function searches for the root of your dotfiles repository at ~/.dotfiles, and looks for the local config toml file at ~/.dotfiles/.dotter/local.toml. However, you can customize these locations using environment variables specific to your setup, as follows:

# specific path of your dotter binary; default: dotter
DOTTER_BIN=~/bin/dotter

# root of dotfiles repo; default: ~/.dotfiles
DOTFILES_ROOT=~/dotfiles

# location of the local config; default: $DOTFILES_ROOT/.dotter/local.toml
DOTFILES_LOCAL=~/.dot.local.toml

# update dotfiles without pull from remote; default:
DOTFILES_IGNORE_REMOTE=1

To use the update function, simply run it from your shell:

update-dotfiles
# or with force; equivalent dotter -f
update-dotfiles -f
