Windows configuration files =========================== An easy and ad-hoc way to store & sync various configuration files across Windows installations. Actual configuration files are stored in this repository in directories which names must roughly match the `%.+%` regular expression. The part between the percent signs is the name of an environment variable. Its value replaces the path of this directory, making for the path of a symlink which would point to a file in this repository. A database of symlinks is maintained in case a file is removed from this repository (the corresponding symlink is then deleted). Default database file name is "db.bin". Usage ----- To update the symlinks, run `./update.sh`. Requires Cygwin. For example, here's a possible representation of the "%PROGRAMDATA%" directory: %PROGRAMDATA%/ └── a └── b └── c └── test.txt Running the script above would create a symlink at "C:\ProgramData\a\b\c\test.txt" pointing to "%PROGRAMDATA%\a\b\c\test.txt" in this repository. Limitations ----------- Only alphanumeric variable names are supported. Speaking more precisely, directory names must match the `^%[_[:alpha:]][_[:alnum:]]+%$` regular expression. This means that, for example, the environment variable `ProgramFiles(x86)` is not supported. License ------- Distributed under the MIT License. See [LICENSE.txt] for details.
