- 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 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.
This change was prompted by
https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot/issues/223.
Without an explanation of what's going on here, this example is
unnecessarily confusing. It's a neat example, but probably not worth
explaining this in Dotbot's README.
See https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot/issues/224.
Dotbot had a hardcoded behaviour that the BASEDIR was always passed to
os.path.realpath which "returns the canonical path of the specified
filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path".
This might not always be desirable so this commit makes it configurable.
The use case where `canonicalize-path` comes in handy is the following:
You want to provide dotfiles in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard under
`/usr/local/share/ypid_dotfiles/`. Now you want to provide
`.config/dotfiles` as a default in `/etc/skel`. When you now
pre-configure `/etc/skel` by running dotbot in it set has HOME, dotfiles
will refer to `/usr/local/share/ypid_dotfiles/` and not
`/etc/skel/.config/dotfiles` which does not look nice.
This is related to but not the same as the `relative` parameter used
with link commands.
This commit adds an option to the extended configuration syntax for
linking files and directories. Enabling the relative option makes it so
that symbolic links are created with relative paths instead of absolute
paths.
