dpm dotfiles

Use this command to install config files from a Git repository.

CLI usage

dpm config install [--id <id>] [--map <src:dst>] <repo-url | local-path>

Arguments and flags

repo-url is the Git repository URL to clone, or a local path.
--id, -i sets an ID for this dotfile config.
--map, -m sets one source:destination mapping for this command run.

Examples

        # clone repository
        dpm config install https://github.com/user/dotfiles
        # clone and map one file
        dpm config install --map .tmux.conf:~/.tmux.conf https://github.com/user/dotfiles
        # with an ID for tracking
        dpm config install --id my-dots https://github.com/user/dotfiles
      

--map is CLI-only. If you skip --map, DPM may clone the repo without applying files. In that case, run again with explicit mappings.

TUI: Dotfiles tab

Open the Dotfiles tab with TAB. You can select configs and apply them from there.

Installing from the list

Press SPACE to select a configuration, then ENTER to install it.
Or add it to the cart with SPACE and install alongside other items.

Adding a custom repository (two-phase import)

Press A to add a dotfile repository that isn't in the curated list:

Phase 1: paste a Git URL and press ENTER.
Phase 2: review detected configs, select what you want, then apply.

Dotfiles and profiles

Profiles can include associated dotfile configurations that are applied alongside the tool installs. When you apply a profile with dpm -a or via the Profiles tab, any dotfiles defined in the profile are installed automatically.
