ghmd is a glorified symlink manager.
ghmd started off as an attempt to add support for multiple dotfile repos to badm. Things got a little out of hand, so I have unofficially forked that repo. Very little of the original code or command line interface remains.
It's essentially a glorified bespoke/fancy ln tool. It moves files/directories from path A to path B then creates a symbolic link at path A pointing to path B.
Reasons you should use this tool:
- crickets
Reasons you shouldn't use this tool:
- I adapted it for my own use case, not yours.
- It's not written in your favorite programming language.
- I deleted all the tests that are in badm.
- You have better things to do than sit in front of your computer moping over dot files lost to the great trash bin in the sky.
Dotfiles are tracked in $HOME/.config/ghmd/config.toml to enable all known dotfiles to be deployed in one swift command line call.

There is no roadmap. Only what you see before you.
Pull requests, issues/feature requests, and bug reports will be approached with trepidation and a mild sense of exhaustion!
