# dbkp - dotfiles backup
dbkp simply backups and restores dotfiles using `rsync -La`. You can use it with
any version control or backup strategy you want.
## Instalation
Install with pip:
`pip3 install dbkp`
## Usage
Put the file dbkp.json on a folder and configure it as you want. Then either run
`dbkp backup` from the folder or pass the path to the configuration file as
`dbkp backup /path/to/dbkp.json`. A folder named dotfiles in the same folder as
the configuration file will be created and all dotfiles will be synced inside
it. Use `dbkp restore` in the same way to rsync the files from the dotfiles
folder into their places.
## Configuration example
The configuration is a list of files to backup, or objects that adds some
features to the specific dotfile.
A string will backup the folder/file. This will backup the file `~/.vimrc`:
```json
["~/.vimrc"]
```
It is the same as
```json
[
{
"path": "~/.vimrc",
"alias": "vimrc"
}
]
```
`alias` is the name the file/folder will have inside the dotfiles folder. By
default it is the name of the file/folder without a leading dot.
It is also possible to exclude subfiles/subfolders from a folder. The complete
folder will be synced and then the files/folders will be deleted. You can
specify both `only` and `exclude`, but `exclude` will be ignored in this case.
`only` will remove all files but the ones listed and `exclude` will only exclude
the ones listed.
```json
[
{
"path": "~/.config/fish",
"only": ["functions"],
"exclude": ["completions"]
}
]
```
The `links` options allows to create symlinks after restoring. It is a list of
either strings or lists of 2 string elements. If the element is a string, then a
symlink will be created pointing to `path`. If it a list of 2 strings, the
second is the symlink and will point to `path`/`first element`. In the example,
`~/.vimrc` will point to `~/.config/nvim/init.nvim` and `~/neovim` will point to
`~/.config/nvim`.
```json
[
{
"path": "~/.config/nvim",
"links": ["~/neovim", ["init.vim", "~/.vimrc"]]
}
]
```
It is also possible to run commands to do the backup/restore.
```json
[
{
"backup": "brew leaves",
"restore": "xargs brew install",
"alias": "brew.leaves"
}
]
```
This is the same as backing up with
```sh
brew leaves > brew.leaves
```
and then restoring with
```sh
cat brew.leaves | xargs brew install
```
The current working directory is changed to the folder containing the
configuration file before executing anything, so if you want to specify files in
the command line, remember that: you need to quote file paths if they contain
spaces and your `alias` file is in `dotfiles/:alias"`.
