     16 .SH DESCRIPTION
     17 \fBdotfm\fP is designed to be simple and easy to use. It's really just a
     18 short-hand for managing symlinks of dotfiles (it's also helpful if
     19 you don't want to remember or type out the location of a dotfile
     20 everytime you want to modify it).

     44 .PP
     45 Some terminology to avoid confusion:
     46 .RS
     47 .IP \(bu 3
     48 DOTFILE refers to the filepath of the dotfile to be installed
     49 .IP \(bu 3
     50 DESTINATION refers to the location you would usually find a
     51 dotfile at. For example, the location for bashrc is ~/.bashrc
     52 .IP \(bu 3
     53 ALIAS refers to any name used to call a dotfile installed by
     54 \fBdotfm\fP. \fBdotfm\fP recognises the source filepath (DOTFILE) as an alias
     55 .RE
     56 .TP
     57 .B
     58 install, in <DOTFILE> \.\.\.
     59 Create a symlink to DOTFILE from it's DESTINATION and register it.
     60 DOTFILE should be the filepath of the dotfile to install. If this
     61 path matches its DESTINATION, then a symlink won't be created but
     62 the file will still be registered by \fBdotfm\fP.
     63 .RS
     64 .PP
     65 If DOTFILE is recognised by \fBdotfm\fP, then you will be prompted for
     66 an install location and aliases to call the dotfile by. If the
     67 \fB--skip\fP option was passed then the defaults will be used.
     68 .RE
     69 .TP
     70 .B
     71 update, up <ALIAS> <DOTFILE>
     72 update the source DOTFILE path (of the \fBdotfm\fP-registered dotfile
     73 matching ALIAS) that DESTINATION points to.
     74 .PP
     75 link, ln <FILE> \.\.\.
     76 hardlink FILE to another destination, ideally a repository with a
     77 collection of your dotfiles.
     78 .TP
     79 .B
     80 remove, rm <ALIAS> \.\.\.
     81 If ALIAS is recognised, then the DESTINATION of the dotfile will be
     82 removed. This is a destructive function, use it carefully.
     83 .RS
     84 .PP
     85 Will only remove the file if the file has been installed by \fBdotfm\fP
     86 (and can be found in DOTFM CSV FILE).
     87 .RE
     88 .TP
     89 .B
     90 edit, ed <ALIAS> \.\.\.
     91 Open DOTFILE in $EDITOR or nano if $EDITOR is not present.
     92 .RS
     93 .PP
     94 DOTFILE should be an alias of the dotfile to edit.
     95 .RE
     96 .TP
     97 .B
     98 list, ls <ALIAS> \.\.\.
     99 Print a table of the install locations and aliases for all
    100 registered dotfiles. If one or more DOTFILE arguments are present,
    101 then only dotfiles with matching aliases will be listed.
    102 .SH INSTALL
    103 Go to the source folder of \fBdotfm\fP and run "sudo make install" or "sudo
    104 make link".
    105 .RS
    106 .IP \(bu 3
    107 "sudo make install" - copy \fBdotfm\fP to the install location (recommended
    108 for most users).
    109 .IP \(bu 3
    110 "sudo make link" - create a symlink of \fBdotfm\fP from its current location
    111 to the install location (useful for development).
    112 .RE
    113 .PP
    114 By default the install location of \fBdotfm\fP is /usr/local/bin/\fBdotfm\fP. To
    115 modify this, just edit the value of DESTBINDIR in the Makefile.
    116 .SH UNINSTALL
    117 Go to the source folder of \fBdotfm\fP and run "sudo make uninstall".
    118 .SH ENVIRONMENT
    119 .TP
    120 .B
    121 EDITOR
    122 The text editor to edit dotfiles with. If not present,
    123 nano will be used.
    124 .TP
    125 .B
    126 HOME
    127 The home directory of the current user
    128 .TP
    129 .B
    130 DFMDIR
    131 The directory in which your collection of dotfiles live.
    132 .SH HINTS
    133 I would recommend modifying the "KNOWN" array in src/ dotfm.py
    134 to suite your own needs if i've missed any dotfiles you frequently use.
