# AutoYADM
|
||||
|
||||
AutoYADM is a small shell utility to automate the process of managing dotfiles with [YADM](https://github.com/yadm-dev/yadm) by allowing the user to define a list of files & directories to be automatically added, committed and pushed whenever the script is run. **Most notably, AutoYADM accounts for newly created files previously untracked by YADM.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Simply clone the repository:
|
||||
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
git clone git@github.com:ficcdaf/autoyadm.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You may consider adding aliases to your shell configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
alias autoyadm="/path/to/autoyadm/autoyadm.sh"
|
||||
alias yadmadd="/path/to/autoyadm/yadmadd.sh"
|
||||
```

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: The following assumes you have created shell aliases to the two scripts. You may, of course, simply call them directly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
AutoYADM maintains a list of files and directories for automatic tracking. _**All** children of tracked directories will be tracked, including newly created, previously untracked files._ For example, if you add your Neovim configuration at `~/.config/nvim` to tracking, then any new files you create inside that folder will automatically be added and committed by AutoYADM.
|
||||
|
||||
> _Both scripts and the `tracking` file **must** be in the same directory._
|
||||
|
||||
The tracking file contains the paths to tracked files & directories **relative to $HOME**. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.bashrc
|
||||
.config/nvim
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To add paths to be tracked, you may use `yadmadd.sh`. Any valid absolute or relative path should work.
|
||||
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
$ yadmadd ~/.bashrc
|
||||
$ yadmadd /home/username/.bashrc
|
||||
# Relative paths work too.
|
||||
$ yadmadd ../../.bashrc
|
||||
# You may supply any number of paths as arguments.
|
||||
$ yadmadd .bashrc .zshrc .config/nvim
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To remove a target from tracking, simply delete it from the `tracking` file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Committing & Pushing
|
||||
|
||||
To automatically commit and add your tracking targets, use `autoyadm.sh`:
|
||||
|
||||
```Bash
|
||||
$ autoyadm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default,
