What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps manage stray configuration files by moving them into your central dotfiles repository, ensuring all your application settings are version-controlled and easily managed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized Configuration: Keeps all your application configurations within your ~/.dotfiles directory.
  • Version Control: Enables tracking changes to configuration files using Git.
  • Symlinking: Automatically creates symbolic links from the original location to the new location within ~/.dotfiles, ensuring applications continue to find their configurations.
  • Use Case: You've manually created a new configuration file for an application, like ~/.some-app/config.json. This Skill will move it to ~/.dotfiles/some-app/config.json, create a symlink back to ~/.some-app/config.json, and commit the change to your Git repository.

Quick Start

Use the config-to-dotfiles skill to move the file ~/.some-app/config.json into your dotfiles repository and create a symlink back.
