Briefcase

Briefcase is a tool to facilitate keeping dotfiles in git, including those with private information (such as .gitconfig).

By keeping your configuration files in a git public git repository, you can share your settings with others. Any secret information is kept in a single file outside the repository (it’s up to you to backup and transport this file).

The project homepage includes installation and usage documentation.

• 0.4.2 Git command argument are properly escaped (Sebastian Spieszko)

    Changed the instruction delimiter when redacting files to '!!'.
  

• 0.4.1 Git command now properly passes options through to git, and also allows git output to display in color.

    Path environment variables inherit settings for parent directories.
  

• 0.4.0 Renamed project to Briefcase. First public release.

• 0.3.0 Added code documentation, internal renaming, general cleanup. First public release.

• 0.2.0 Added redact command, use .redacted for dynamic dotfiles

• 0.1.3 The sync command no longer creates symlinks for dynamic files

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix on a topic branch.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request.
