dotman
- Repo: dotfiles manager
dotman is a utility for snapshotting and restoring dotfiles.
Storage
While it could be backed by SQLite, I think it makes more sense to just have a text file with a Lisp list. I'll need to figure out how to format it.
Components
file-header
- name
- the basename(3) of the file's path.
- mod-time
- when the file was last modified.
- path
- the path to this file
- (optional) hash
- the blake2 digest of the file.
snapshot
A snapshot is a record of a file as it exists in the manifest.
- header
- as above.
- target-path
- where the file should go.
- snapshot-path
- where snapshot is stored.
real-file
- header
- a file header (as described above).
- contents
- the file contents, suitable for writing to disk.
manifest
The manifest is a list of =snapshot=s.
