This repository now contains a Go implementation of Homesick. A dotfiles repository is called a castle and should contain a home/ directory with files to link into your $HOME.

Build

Build with just:

just go-build

Or directly with Go:

go build -o dist/gosick ./cmd/homesick

Commands

Implemented commands:

clone URI [CASTLE_NAME]
list
show_path [CASTLE]
status [CASTLE]
diff [CASTLE]
link [CASTLE]
unlink [CASTLE]
track FILE [CASTLE]
pull [--all|CASTLE]
push [CASTLE]
commit -m MESSAGE [CASTLE]
destroy [CASTLE]
cd [CASTLE]
open [CASTLE]
exec CASTLE COMMAND...
exec_all COMMAND...
generate PATH
rc [--force] [CASTLE]
version

Global options:

--pretend simulates command execution for shell/git-backed operations.
--dry-run is an alias for --pretend.
--quiet suppresses status output.

rc behavior

Runs executable scripts in <castle>/.homesick.d/ in lexicographic order.
Executes scripts with the castle root as the current working directory.
Forwards script stdout/stderr to command output.
If <castle>/.homesickrc exists, --force is required before legacy Ruby compatibility hooks are run.
If <castle>/.homesickrc exists and <castle>/.homesick.d/parity.rb does not, generates parity.rb before execution.
Never overwrites an existing parity.rb wrapper.

exec behavior

exec CASTLE COMMAND... runs the shell command inside the target castle root.
exec_all COMMAND... runs the same shell command inside each cloned castle root in sorted order.

Behavior Suite

The repository includes a Docker-based behavior suite that validates filesystem and git outcomes for the implemented commands.
