I don't think that kelsey want to support this. There where several issues already: #79 #229 #344

bborysenko commented 8 years ago

Maybe add support for dest = "~/gitconfig" at least?

I'm looking for way to manage user' dotfiles with confd and to be able use reload_cmd. For instance to run brew bundle if a Brewfile has been changed.

Right now I just use some piece of bash to:

But actually I don't like this way.

@bborysenko dest = "~/gitconfig" and dest = "$HOME/gitconfig" would both be really easy to implement. I would put together a pull request if i would know that it is going to be merged.

I also needed some features which kelsey did not wanted in confd - so i created https://github.com/HeavyHorst/remco, maybe this is fitting your needs better.
