<b>The Config Keeper</b>
</p>
<p>
Have you ever wondered:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"Jeez Luiz, how can I manage all my configs across my desktop and server?"
</p>
<p>
– You
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
or maybe:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"How can I possibly keep all my configs in sync across computers?"
</p>
<p>
– You again
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
<b>ck</b> is the solution you've been looking for all your life.
</p>
<p>
With it you can keep track of all the configs you cherish and love,
and store them neat and tidy in a folder you can later sync using
your favorite sync solution (git, nextcloud, rsync). You can even gift
your precious data to Google and use GDrive (<i><i>not recommended!!</i></i>).
</p>
<p>
After you create your local config db you can list them, edit them
and even search in them, all within the comforting hands of <b>ck</b>, your
faithful companion.
</p>
<p>
You can also use <b>ck</b> to store sensitive configurations (with passwords, etc)
and instruct it to save them in a different folder, so they won't be in the
same place with the normal ones (in the event you want to share your configs
with the rest of us).

<h3 id="orgf6d327c">Technicalities</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-orgf6d327c">
<p>
Upon adding a config to <b>ck</b>, it moves it to the specified folder and adds a symbolic link
back where it came from (<code>ln -s</code>).
</p>
<p>
Make sure that the target program can read it's configuration from a symlink (the vast
majority should).

<p>
Go ahead and download <b>ck</b> and give it a try. It comes with a help sub-command
that explains any inquires you might have.

The testing "suite" is a bash script that runs regression

and are bash scripts that test <code>ck</code> functionality. Unit tests reside
under <code>unit/</code> directory and test the code.

ck's goal is to assist with the configuration file management.
To that end it tries to provides a cli interface that is pretty straight-forward
and intuitive.
</p>
<p>
Example usage:

<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-sh"><span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">initialize new ck</span>

$ ck add emacs ~/.emacs.d/accounts.org -s
<span style="color: #656565;">## </span><span style="color: #757575;">and another one for emacs</span>
$ ck add emacs ~/.emacs.d/init.el
<span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">add tmux config</span>
$ ck add tmux ~/.tmux.conf -p
<span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">list the configs</span>
$ ck list tree
$ ck list paths -t lisp
$ ck list programs -t python
$ ck list -p emacs
<span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">search the configs</span>
$ ck search search-term
$ ck search <span style="color: #bdbc61;">"\"search term with spaces\""</span>
$ ck search <span style="color: #bdbc61;">"\("</span> <span style="color: #656565;">#</span><span style="color: #757575;">escape symbols</span>
</pre>
</div>
<p>
The first command after typing <b>ck</b> is the action you wish to perform. Actions are
a very important concept of ck. With an action you can initialize <b>ck</b>, add/delete
configuration files to/from it, edit them, list them in various ways and search in their content.
</p>
<p>
Actions expect their arguments in the order specified below. This is done to reduce the amount
of flags one has to pass to ck.
</p>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org80abd4c" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org80abd4c">ck configuration</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-org80abd4c">
<p>
ck uses sqlite to index the configuration files. The init
action creates a <b>.ck</b> directory (under <code>$HOME</code>)
in witch the <b>ckrc</b> and the <b>ckdb</b> reside. The first one contains
the two directories described above while the other one is the
sqlite db.
</p>
<p>
One can have multiple config directories with different configurations
each.
</p>
<p>
Using the special keyword <b>config</b> (or <b>-c</b>) you can set the path
in which ck will search for the <b>.ck</b> directory.
</p>
<p>
You can prefix every action with this and ck will use the configuration
directory of your choice.
</p>
<p>
Usage:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-sh">$ ck config ~/ ... <span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">the default behaviour</span>

<p>
List stuff ck knows about.
</p>
<p>
You can use the keywords:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><b>paths</b>: to print all the paths ck tracks</li>
<li><b>programs</b>: to print all the programs ck tracks</li>
<li><b>-p progName</b>: (without the "<>") to print the paths of a specific program</li>
</ul>
<p>
With the flag <b>-t</b> and then one of the follwing types one can change
the way the list is printed:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><b>plain</b>: simple listing (default)</li>
<li><b>python</b>: print like a python list</li>
<li><b>lisp</b>: print like a lisp list</li>
</ul>
<p>
Using the keyword <b>tree</b> ck can list the configurations under their
corresponding program, in a treelike structure.
</p>
<p>
Passing the <b>-a</b> flag will enable the listing of config attributes (secret or primary).
It is best used with tree or plain paths.
</p>
<p>
With the keyword <b>ckconf</b> ck will list it's own configuration values (in ckrc).
</p>
<p>

Edit configurations with <code>$EDITOR</code>.

Edit takes at least one and up to two arguments.
</p>
<p>
The first argument is the <b>programName</b>. If the program has a primary configuration
edit will open this. If the program has only one configuration edit will open it.
If the program has more than 1 configurations and no primary, it will print the
avaliable configurations and exit.
</p>
<p>
The second argument is the <b>configName</b>. If it exists it will open, else it will
print the avaliable configurations and exit.

Restore links.
</p>
<p>
Given a working ck instance (ckdb + ckrc + directories in ckrc with configs)
restore shall recreate the links from the config directories in ckrc
back to their corresponding position when added in ck.
</p>
<p>
It is useful for copying your configs to a new linux installation
or restoring deleted links.
</p>
<p>
It can either restore a specific program or all of them:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-sh"><span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">restore progName</span>
ck restore -p progName
<span style="color: #656565;"># </span><span style="color: #757575;">restore all</span>
ck r all
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Note:
If ck tracks configs that are owned by root, simply running
`ck restore …` will fail due to permissions. To remedy this, ck will alter the
owner and group of a link to match the one in the ckrc directories.
Thus, running `sudo ck -c <i>home/myuser</i>.ck restore ..` will restore
the root user's links as it should and the user links will have
the user as the owner instead of the root.
</p>
<p>
ck checks that the configs exist and that the location for the link
is avaliable before making any links. However, in the even that symlink
fails for some other reason, the process will stop as is. Make sure you
take care of the already created links, if that's the case.
