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.
-Example usage:
+This section is an example usage.
+** Initialize
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+ cd ~
+ # make the directories for the configs
+ $ mkdir -p configs/vc configs/sec

-The first command after typing *ck* is the action you wish to perform. Actions are
-a very important concept of ck. With an action you can initialize *ck*, add/delete
-configuration files to/from it, edit them, list them in various ways and search in their content.
-
-Actions expect their arguments in the order specified below. This is done to reduce the amount
-of flags one has to pass to ck.
-
-** ck configuration
-ck uses sqlite to index the configuration files. The init
-action creates a *.ck* directory (under =$HOME=)
-in witch the *ckrc* and the *ckdb* reside. The first one contains
-the two directories described above while the other one is the
-sqlite db.
-
-One can have multiple config directories with different configurations
-each.
-
-Using the special keyword *config* (or *-c*) you can set the path
-in which ck will search for the *.ck* directory.
-
-You can prefix every action with this and ck will use the configuration
-directory of your choice.
+ $ ck add tmux .tmux.conf -p
-Usage:
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- $ ck config ~/ ... # the default behaviour
-
- # /someplace/else must exist or
- # the action following it must be init
- $ ck -c /someplace/else ...
-#+END_SRC
-
-** Actions
-*** init
-or i or -i
+ # add X configs
+ $ ck add X .xinitrc
+ $ ck add X .Xresources
-init takes exactly 2 arguments.
-
-- *config_dir*: where all the configs will live
-- *secret_dir*: where all the secret configs will live
-
-Use init to initialize a new ck database.
-
-Usage:
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- # initialize new ck
- $ ck init /path_to/where_you_want/your_configs/to_be \
- /path_to/the_secret/directory
+ # add ssh configs (secret)
+ $ ck add ssh .ssh/config -s -p
+ $ ck add ssh .ssh/authorized_keys -s
+ # When running with sudo, we need to specify the ck config
+ # location.
+ $ sudo ck -c /home/ckuser add ssh /etc/ssh/sshd_config -s
#+END_SRC
-*** add
-or a or -a
-
-Adds a configuration to the ck database.
-Add takes 2 to 4 arguments.
-
-- *program_name*: the name of the program you add a config to
-- *config_path*: the path to the config
-- Optional: (order doesn't matter)
- + *-p*: the config will be the primary (relevant on edit below)
- + *-s*: the config will be stored in the secret_dir
-
-Keep in mind:
-- The config has to exist.
-- If you are adding a config to a program already existing in ckdb make
- sure to use the same name.
-- Each program can have only one primary config.
-
-Usage:
+** Using the ck actions
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- # add config to ck
- $ ck add program_name config_path [-s] [-p]
-#+END_SRC
-
-*** list
-or ls or l or -l
-
-List stuff ck knows about.
-
-You can use the keywords:
-- *paths*: to print all the paths ck tracks
-- *programs*: to print all the programs ck tracks
-- *-p progName*: (without the "<>") to print the paths of a specific program
-
-With the flag *-t* and then one of the follwing types one can change
-the way the list is printed:
-- *plain*: simple listing (default)
-- *python*: print like a python list
-- *lisp*: print like a lisp list
-
-Using the keyword *tree* ck can list the configurations under their
-corresponding program, in a treelike structure.
-
-Passing the *-a* flag will enable the listing of config attributes (secret or primary).
-It is best used with tree or plain paths.
-
-With the keyword *ckconf* ck will list it's own configuration values (in ckrc).
-
-Usage:
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- # list tree structure, with attributes
+ # list the configs in a treelike structure with basename only
+ $ ck list tree -b
+ # or with the full path & attributes
$ ck list tree -a
- # list paths in python
- $ ck l paths -t python
- # list programs in lisp
- $ ck ls programs -t lisp
- # list emacs' configurations [with attributes]
- $ ck ls -p emacs [-a]
- # list bash configurations in lisp
- $ ck ls -p bash -t lisp
- # list ck configuration
- $ ck -l ckconf
-#+END_SRC
-*** search
-or grep or s or -s
-
-Perform infile grep in all the configurations ck keeps track of.
-
-Takes one argument, the *search-term*.
+ # list only the paths in python or lisp like lists
+ $ ck list paths -t lisp
+ $ ck list programs -t python -b -a
-To search for terms with spaces you have to put them in quotes.
+ # list emacs configs
+ $ ck list -p emacs
-Usage:
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- # search for parenthesis
+ # search the configs
+ $ ck search Hostname
+ $ ck search "search term with spaces"
+ # escape symbols
$ ck search \(
- # search term with spaces
- $ ck grep "This is a space"
- # both
- $ ck s "(add 2 4)"
- # and a normal one
- $ ck -s alias
-#+END_SRC
-If you want to use more advanced grep techniques or even
-a different pattern matching program you can do it like so:
+ # edit the primary config of emacs
+ $ ck edit emacs
+ # edit a non-primary config of ssh
+ $ ck e ssh authorized_keys
+ # edit a root config
+ $ sudo ck -c /home/ckuser e ssh sshd_config
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- # with xargs
- $ ck ls paths | xargs grep -E 'A|B'
- # or in bash
- $ for i in $(ck ls paths); do grep -E 'A|B' $i; done
- # or in zsh
- $ for i ($(ck ls paths)) grep -E 'A|B' $i
-#+END_SRC
-
-*** edit
-or e or -e
-
-Edit configurations with =$EDITOR=.
-
-Edit takes at least one and up to two arguments.
+ # delete a program with all the configs
+ $ ck delete emacs
+ # or a specific config
+ $ ck del -c /home/ckuser/.emacs.d/init.el
-The first argument is the *programName*. 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.
+ # restore all links (on a new instalation)
+ $ ck restore all
+ # restore a program's links
+ $ ck r -p emacs
-The second argument is the *configName*. If it exists it will open, else it will
-print the avaliable configurations and exit.
-
-Usage:
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
-# suppose this is our ck instance
-$ ck list tree -a
-emacs:
-|- init.el
-|- accounts.el [s]
-|- orgconf.org [p]
-
-# edit the primary emacs config
-$ ck edit emacs
-
-# edit a specific emacs config, other than the primary
-$ ck edit emacs accounts.el
+ # get help for an action
+ $ ck h add
+ $ ck --help e
#+END_SRC
-*** restore
-or r or -r
-
-Restore links.
-
-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.
-
-It is useful for copying your configs to a new linux installation
-or restoring deleted links.
-
-It can either restore a specific program or all of them:
-#+BEGIN_SRC sh
- # restore progName
- ck restore -p progName
- # restore all
- ck r all
-#+END_SRC
-
-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 /home/myuser/.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.
-
-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.
