Add script to install the files #4

Open Tina-otoge opened 6 years ago

Tina-otoge commented 6 years ago

Add a script in the repository to interactively install the configuration files per group.

This should significantly improves deployment time.

(optional) Include a short documentation of what each group affects when asking to install them, so the user does not have to read the configuration files to know what they do.

ln is much better than cp imo, it takes so much time to update the config files with having to copy them everytime.

maybe use ln and tell people to put cp instead if they want to make their own configs?

Tina-otoge commented 6 years ago

As I described the difference between the two, if you symlink the files from this repo and do modifications, and then want to update the repo without overwriting your local changes (ie. you are not me and modified a file not stored in one of the "custom" scripts), copying makes more sense.

Because if you symlinked from the repo, you won't be able to pull after modifying, that's why I said: make an option available to use either ln or cp rather than forcing one over the other

well in this case you can just make a new branch and push it to another remote
