It's also imaginable that the initialize method always takes a hash, which is even simpler to implement. Then the names wouldn't go to waste.
Really looking forward to this. The Rakefile is the No.1 thing I want to have removed from my dotfiles :wink:
Yep, that’s going to make things simpler :wink:
I will adjust this ticket as soon as #23 is done.
@railsbros-dirk talked about his idea to create a thor-powered exogenesis command. And I thought about how one could implement this. So I came up with the following:
--file
option to give the path to a file. When you do not give a path, it will tryexogenesis.yml
,.exogenesis.yml
and~./exogenesis.yml
in that order. This way you can call exogenesis from wherever you are on your system right now. But when you set it up for the first time, you can just give the path to the checked out file in your dotfile repo.child nodes
of this node as arguments.An example for a YML file:
This would initialize the class RVM with the argument
RVM.new(["ruby-1.9.3", "ruby-2.0.0"])
and the dotfiles class withDotfile.new("~/Code/dotfiles/tilde")
. The names for the parameters are just for the convenience of the user and are not used in any way. Once Apple bundles Ruby 2.0 (In 2043 approx.) we can then use Keyword-arguments for this ^^The command can be called like this:
What do you think?
