Description:

pyhome 0.3.0

A dotfile management and synchronisation tool.


This is a simple python utility with similar functionality to the functionality
of the homesick ruby utility, providing a simple interface for managing
dotfiles via git repositories.
This tool was born out of frustration at attempting to use ruby gems on HPC
systems, where I did not have administrative rights. On such systems, which are
often not the bleeding edge of ruby version, getting gems to work has proved
extremely difficult. Installation of a new ruby version with associated rubygem
was possible sometimes, but not often enough.

Aims
This tool replicates the most basic functionalities of homesick, namely

Cloning git repositories to the appropriate location
Pulling repositories
Automatic creation of symbolic links to dotfiles in repos



Development
Code is written to be compatible with both Python 2.6+ and 3.x, and
deliberately avoids using any modules outside the standard library, so that it
works out-of-the-box on any system with a reasonably modern Python interpreter
installed.
