A host-driven, task-driven dotfile manager.
Ellipsis expects to be run in the same directory as your Ellipsis configuration file, which should also live with your dotfiles.
Your ellipsis configuration file is the heart of your dotfile task management. It can be either JSON or YAML. It should be named ellipsis.{yaml,yml,json} or should be specified with the global flag --config.
Here is an example in YAML:
vars:
dotfile_root: ~/projects/dotfiles
hosts:
my-macbook:
tasks:
# this references the task under the "tasks" heading
- install_hammerspoon
- name: install_homebrew # names are optional but required if you want to run with "exec"
exec: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
links:
- from: "{{dotfile_root}}/config"
to: ~/.config
# these are global tasks that are only here to be referenced in the tasks heading
tasks:
install_hammerspoon:
exec: |
brew install hammerspoon
mkdir ~/.hammerspooninstall runs both the tasks and links under a host.
ellipsis install my-macbookCreates symlinks for all link entries.
ellipsis link my-macbook
Executes particular tasks for a host.
ellipsis exec my-macbook install_hammerspoon
