Allows one to store files in a directory or git-repo without the leading
`.`, as in:
```
dotconf:
├── README.md
├── bin
│ ├── dotbot
│ ├── look
│ ├── pbfile
│ └── ...
├── dot
│ ├── bashrc
│ ├── gitconfig
│ ├── gitignore
│ ├── gorc
│ ├── login
│ ├── ...
│ ├── zshrc
│ └── zshenv
```
Can take a many-line dotbot.yml listing **each** file in `dotconf/dot`,
reducing it to five lines:
```
- link:
~/:
path: dotconf/dot/*
glob: true
prefix: '.'
```
FIXES: #259
For example, will handle an entire directory tree of files, linking all
files:
```
- link:
~/.config/:
path: dotconf/config/**
glob: true
```
NOTE, this feature requires newer versions of `glob()` (Python >= 3.5),
and `dotbot` will throw an error if using an earlier version of python.
For testing purposes, added:
- ability to skip tests in test harness
- added testing for older Python(s).
FIXES: #270
- Added `exclude` parameter to _link_. Now, an array of glob patterns
can be given that will be used to remove items from a glob match.
This parameter will only have an effect when `glob` is `true`.
- Updated README to add description for `exclude` and add in examples.
Resolves#247
This forces Dotbot to produce colored output, regardless of whether it
is outputting to a TTY.
This is useful to support use cases such as piping colored Dotbot output
into another program for formatting (e.g. I want to indent the output as
part of a larger installation script); this was not previously easy to
do as this would cause the output to lose its colored formatting.
This option cannot be provided at the same time as the existing
`--no-color` option, as there's no logical interpretation of what effect
providing both of these should have.
As part of this change I've refactored some existing code determining
whether output should be colored to where options are parsed, as this
made this change simpler and I think it makes sense for all this logic
to be performed in the same place.
In the setup guide in the README, we have people start out with an empty
file (created using `touch`). Before this patch, Dotbot gave the
following error:
Configuration file must be a list of tasks
Instead, with this patch, Dotbot says:
Configuration file is empty, no work to do

This patch adds parameter/explanation tables for the two other commands
that support extended configuration syntaxes, so now we have
identically-formatted tables for link, shell, and clean.
