This tool helps you incorporate a new configuration file into the dots repository and map it into the centralized symlink management system, ensuring consistency across platforms.
Provide the path to an existing config file to add it into the dots repository, align it with a target section, and run the link process.

Adding a config file to a dotfiles repository for symlink management involves providing the source path and target section. The tool validates the path, copies the config into the dots tree, and updates symlinks.yml automatically.
The best way to organize cross-platform config files in a centralized repository is by mirroring local home directories into per-section config trees like common, arch, and macos. This approach maintains consistency across different operating systems.
Symlink validation when integrating new dotfiles checks the input source path to ensure the file is not already an existing dotfile symlink. This safety measure prevents accidental overwrites and maintains mapping integrity within symlinks.yml.
Yes, you can use this tool to manage configs across different operating systems like arch and macos. It supports categorizing files into platform-specific sections within the dots repository and updating symlinks accordingly.
If you try to add a config file that is already an existing dotfile symlink, the validation process blocks the action. This safety mechanism prevents overwriting existing dotfiles and protects your current configuration mappings.
You do not need to manually update symlinks.yml when adding new configuration files. The automation tool records the new mapping automatically after validating the input path and copying the config into the repository.
