I've always found various solutions that use git for sharing configuration files cumbersome. I set out to make my own simple version control system, and a lightweight web application where I can browse and edit them remotely. The main idea is that paths are aliased to simple names, so I can say `dotfile pull i3` and it will install https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/i3 https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/i3 to ~/.config/i3/config
Overall the project is stable and I use it daily for all sorts of miscellaneous files.
- chdaniel 6y agoWould love to comment with feedback but I'm not techincal enough to use it! Sounds like a time-saver though. Do you have any plan with Dotfilehub? Sell it as a product, keep it free, accept donations if it becomes widely used...?
- knoebber 6y agoMy plan is to find some users for it, but I'm not sure the best way to get it out there. I don't think I'd ever want to accept donations or sell it. It should always be pretty cheap to host unless it blows up, which I kind of doubt. But who knows!
- dgski 6y agoGreat idea! I feel the personal configuration space is ripe for innovation.
- RileyJames 6y agoPretty cool. The kind of thing I’d never look for, but now want to explore. I’ve seen some awesome looking terminals / setups while watching programming demos / tutorials. I would totally try their setup if they had a link to it via your site. Likewise, any sort of preview / screen shot on your site would be awesome. Well executed thus far.
