[BUG] bash and zsh customisation is not protected with update #180

Closed eljejer closed 2 months ago

eljejer commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug I am using Dotfiles 2.9.6 and had some customization in bash and zsh in the directories

~/dotfiles/.config/bashrc/custom I updated Dotfiles with the bash command in tty

cd ~/downloads && rm -rf dotfiles && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles.git && cd dotfiles && ./install.sh I use this way of updating my Dotfiles according to this.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: See description PLUS I removed the ~/dotfiles directory prior to the restore

Expected behavior I expected the files in the customization directory to be restored during update

Screenshots n/a

Distribution (please complete the following information):

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

I see the problem now: I remove ~/dotfiles/ prior to the install. So the bash and zsh customization can never be preserved and therefor neither be restored. However, my customizations in ~/dotfiles/.config/hypr/conf/custom.conf ARE preserved. How can this be?

Please follow this guide. https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/wiki/Switch-between-bash-and-zsh

If you delete the target folder for the dotfiles nothing can be restored.The installer will list all possible files and folders to restore if exists.

@mylinuxforwork Yes, if I delete I cannot restore. I understand that. But I still don't understand how the ~/dotfiles/.config/hypr/conf/custom.conf could be restored... Also, I understand that you went away from ~/dotfiles/.config/zshrc/custom/ subdirectroy and in stead introduced the inject file principle. Correct?
