Export dotfiles

Feature Details

Description:

It would be good if we can have an option to export the dotfiles configuration.

Use-cases:

• Sometime it's necessary to export the dotfiles config for debugging purposes.
• If I decided not to use fig due for some reason, I might want to export the existing dotfiles config and move on.

Hey @chungweileong94, thanks for the request!

Should be pretty easy to implement this. For now, you can use a couple methods to get the compiled shell code, here's the easiest if you have jq installed:

cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/fig/shell/zsh.json | jq .dotfile --raw-output

You can also replace zsh.json with bash.json or fish.json if you use a different shell.

The other way would be to run fig init <SHELL> post and copy/paste from the top of the output. These are equivalent :)

Thanks! Was figuring out where fig stores the dotfiles value.

an export feature would be super helpful since y'all are shutting down
