And as you can see in the README file:
Tools for managing dotfiles using git.
Currently the dot-setup script simply clones your dot-team git repository into ~/.local/share/dot-files
This is simply a personal dot files collection, not a tool to manage your dot files.
As I already explained: the dot-team repository does *NOT* contain my personal dotfiles. These are my dotfiles: https://github.com/felipec/dotfiles These are *NOT* my dotfiles: https://github.com/felipec/dot-team Yes, in v0.1 dot-setup clones the dot-team repository, which does *NOT* contain my personal dotfiles, but you do not need to use dot-setup, you can use dot-init instead. But in fact I just pushed v0.2 so now you can call dot-setup with *any* repository, here: dot-setup https://github.com/DoomHammer/dotfiles That works, and they are not the dot-team dotfiles, nor my personal dotfiles. Once again: you do not need to use dot-setup, you do not need to use dot-team. dot-tools can be used with *any* dotfiles, not just the ones in the dot-team repository.
The rest of the script are simple oneline bash scripts which calls git commands
Yes, they are simple, simple code is good in my book. dot-tools does essentially the same thing as yadm [1], except yadm does it in a convoluted way, and dot-tools does it in a simple way. I do not think complexity should be a requirement for AUR packages. makepkg itself is a very simple script, and that's a good thing. The important thing isn't if the software is complex, the important thing is if the software is *useful*. Do you think dot-tools isn't useful? If so, why? [1] https://yadm.io -- Felipe Contreras
