tuckr

tuckr command [group...] [options]

tuckr is a dotfile manager that organizes configuration files into logical groups and deploys them as symlinks. Each group represents a set of related dotfiles (such as vim, zsh, or git), allowing selective deployment of configurations across different machines.The add command creates symlinks from the dotfile repository to their expected locations in the home directory. Groups can be linked individually or all at once with the `\*` wildcard, and the status command shows which groups are currently linked. The rm command cleanly unlinks deployed symlinks, while set additionally runs per-group setup hooks.The tool uses a simple directory structure with Configs, Hooks, and Secrets directories, where each subdirectory under Configs represents a group that mirrors the home directory layout within it. Inspired by GNU Stow, it adds hooks and encrypted secrets without requiring symlink-aware tooling.
