ck's goal is to assist with the config file management.
To that end it tries to provides a cli interface that is pretty straight-forward
and intuitive.



Example usage:

</p>

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

<p>
Example usage:
</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># initialize new ck</span>
$ ck init /path_to/where_you_want/your_configs/to_be <span class="se">\</span>
  /path_to/the_secret/directory

<span class="c1"># add emacs configs</span>
<span class="c1">## primary config</span>
$ ck add emacs ~/.emacs.d/orgconf.org -p
<span class="c1">## secret config, with passwords and naughty words</span>
$ ck add emacs ~/.emacs.d/accounts.org -s
<span class="c1">## and another one for emacs</span>
$ ck add emacs ~/.emacs.d/init.el

<span class="c1"># add tmux config</span>
$ ck add tmux ~/.tmux.conf -p               
</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/move/delete
configuration files to 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>

<p>
Not all of the above are implemented yet.
</p>

<p>
Below I document everything that is available.
</p>

<div id="outline-container-sec-1" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-1">ck configuration</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
<p>
ck uses sqlite to index the configuration files. The init
action creates a <b>.ck</b> directory (by default under $HOME)
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 <b>.ck</b> directories with different configurations
each.
</p>

<p>
Using the special keyword <b>config</b> (or <b>conf</b> or <b>c</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 below with this and ck will use the <b>.ck</b>
directory of your choice.
</p>

<p>
Usage:
</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ ck config ~/ ... <span class="c1"># the default behaviour</span>

<span class="c1"># /someplace/else/.ck must exist or</span>
<span class="c1"># the action following it must be init</span>
$ ck conf /someplace/else ... 

<span class="c1"># same thing</span>
$ ck c /someplace/else ... 
$ ck -c /someplace/else ... 
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-sec-2" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-2">Actions</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
</div>
<div id="outline-container-sec-2-1" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-2-1">init</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-1">
<p>
or i or -i
</p>

<p>
init takes up to exactly 2 arguments.
</p>

<ul class="org-ul">
<li>
<b>config_dir</b>: where all the configs will live
</li>
<li>
<b>secret_dir</b>: where all the secret configs will live
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Use init once to initialize a new ck instance.
</p>

<p>
Usage:
</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># initialize new ck</span>
$ ck init /path_to/where_you_want/your_configs/to_be <span class="se">\</span>
  /path_to/the_secret/directory
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-sec-2-2" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-2-2">add</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-2">
<p>
or a or -a
</p>

<p>
add takes 2 to 4 arguments.
</p>

<ul class="org-ul">
<li>
<b>program_name</b>: the name of the program you add a config to
</li>
<li>
<b>config_path</b>: the path to the config
</li>
<li>Optional (order doesn't matter):
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>
<b>-p</b>: the config will be the primary (relevant on edit below)
</li>
<li>
<b>-s</b>: the config will be stored in the secret_dir
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Use add to add a new config for ck to keep track of.
</p>

<p>
Keep in mind:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>The config has to exist
</li>
<li>If you are adding a config to an existing program be sure to use the same name
</li>
<li>Each program can have only one primary config
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Usage:
</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># add config to ck</span>
$ ck add program_name config_path <span class="o">[</span>-s<span class="o">]</span> <span class="o">[</span>-p<span class="o">]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-sec-2-3" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-2-3">edit</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-3">
<p>
or e or -e
</p>

<p>
Currently edit can only edit the primary config of a program.
</p>

<p>
To do it use:
</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ ck edit program_name
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
    </div>
