A script managing workhorse.
Dobbin is a simple package manager for miscellaneous binaries and scripts. Given a git repository and a list of files, the repository will be cloned and the files symlinked to a central bin directory.
One benefit of this approach is that there's no need for projects to explicitly support Dobbin, e.g. with a package.json or something, because you define what you want to symlink yourself.
I wrote this primarily so I don't have to manually pull down various scripts into my dotfiles, and can instead store a simple list of those packages.
Since Dobbin is just a script, you can bootstrap it!
\curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shkm/dobbin/master/dobbin | \
bash -s add https://github.com/shkm/dobbin dobbinNow just add $HOME/.dobbin/bin to your $PATH.
Installs packages listed in your $HOME/.dobbin/package_list.
Adds the package to your package list and installs it.
Each path passed is relative to the repository and will be symlinked into $HOME/.dobbin/bin.
This will clone the Dobbin repo to $HOME/.dobbin/packages and symlink the dobbin file to $HOME/.dobbin/bin.
dobbin add https://github.com/shkm/dobbin dobbin
