# dots: emprespresso's kawaii dotfiles manager ✧˖°˖✧

dots is a cute dotfiles manager with jinja2 templating and gnu stow integration (=^･ω･^=)

it makes your configuration files more organized and portable by combining templating with symlink management. `dots` handles system-specific configurations through context variables in one json file, so you can maintain a single set of dotfiles across different machines. 

## installation

```bash
git clone ssh://src.liz.coffee:2222/dotfiles
cd dotfiles

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

dots --help
```

## requirements (=・ｪ・=)

- python 3.8+ and 
- gnu stow (`brew install stow` on macos, defs in other package managers)

## usage

```bash
# compile your dotfiles templates
dots --compile

# stow them to your home directory
dots --stow

# remove the symlinks
dots --clean

# in case something breaks
dots --compile --stow --clean --verbose
```

dots will look for templates in the `dots/` directory and process any files with the `.j2` extension. system and platform detection happens automatically through the scripts in `dots/home/scripts/`.
