## DESCRIPTION
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm is a tool for managing a collection of files across multiple com-
|
|
|
|
puters, using a shared Git repository. In addition, yadm provides a
|
|
|
|
feature to select alternate versions of files for particular systems.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, yadm supplies the ability to manage a subset of secure files,
|
|
|
|
which are encrypted before they are included in the repository.

|
## COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
git-command or git-alias
|
|
|
|
Any command not internally handled by yadm is passed through to
|
|
|
|
git(1). Git commands or aliases are invoked with the yadm man-
|
2017-04-03 12:09:32 +00:00
|
|
|
aged repository. The working directory for Git commands will be
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
the configured work-tree (usually $HOME).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dotfiles are managed by using standard git commands; add, com-
|
|
|
|
mit, push, pull, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The config command is not passed directly through. Instead use
|
|
|
|
the gitconfig command (see below).
|
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
alt Create symbolic links and process templates for any managed
|
|
|
|
files matching the naming rules described in the ALTERNATES and
|
|
|
|
TEMPLATES sections. It is usually unnecessary to run this com-
|
2017-04-03 12:09:32 +00:00
|
|
|
mand, as yadm automatically processes alternates by default.
|
|
|
|
This automatic behavior can be disabled by setting the configu-
|
|
|
|
ration yadm.auto-alt to "false".

|
bootstrap
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Execute $HOME/.config/yadm/bootstrap if it exists.

|
|
|
clone url
|
|
|
|
Clone a remote repository for tracking dotfiles. After the con-
|
2021-04-03 17:00:02 +00:00
|
|
|
tents of the remote repository have been fetched, a "check out"
|
|
|
|
of the remote HEAD branch is attempted. If there are conflict-
|
|
|
|
ing files already present in the work-tree, the local version
|
|
|
|
will be left unmodified and you'll have to review and resolve
|
|
|
|
the difference.
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
The repository is stored in $HOME/.local/share/yadm/repo.git.
|
|
|
|
By default, $HOME will be used as the work-tree, but this can be
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
overridden with the -w option. yadm can be forced to overwrite
|
|
|
|
an existing repository by providing the -f option. If you want
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
to use a branch other than the remote HEAD branch you can spec-
|
|
|
|
ify it using the -b option. By default yadm will ask the user
|
|
|
|
if the bootstrap program should be run (if it exists). The
|
|
|
|
options --bootstrap or --no-bootstrap will either force the
|
|
|
|
bootstrap to be run, or prevent it from being run, without
|
|
|
|
prompting the user.

config This command manages configurations for yadm. This command
|
2020-08-08 20:08:23 +00:00
|
|
|
works exactly the way git-config(1) does. See the CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
section for more details.

decrypt
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Decrypt all files stored in $HOME/.local/share/yadm/archive.
|
|
|
|
Files decrypted will be relative to the configured work-tree
|
|
|
|
(usually $HOME). Using the -l option will list the files stored
|
|
|
|
without extracting them.

encrypt
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Encrypt all files matching the patterns found in $HOME/.con-
|
|
|
|
fig/yadm/encrypt. See the ENCRYPTION section for more details.

|
|
|
enter Run a sub-shell with all Git variables set. Exit the sub-shell
|
|
|
|
the same way you leave your normal shell (usually with the
|
|
|
|
"exit" command). This sub-shell can be used to easily interact
|
|
|
|
with your yadm repository using "git" commands. This could be
|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
useful if you are using a tool which uses Git directly, such as
|
|
|
|
tig, vim-fugitive, git-cola, etc.
|
2019-11-27 13:21:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Optionally, you can provide a command after "enter", and instead
|
|
|
|
of invoking your shell, that command will be run with all of the
|
|
|
|
Git variables exposed to the command's environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs Tramp and Magit can manage files by using this configura-

git-crypt options
|
|
|
|
If git-crypt is installed, this command allows you to pass
|
|
|
|
options directly to git-crypt, with the environment configured
|
|
|
|
to use the yadm repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git-crypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of files
|
|
|
|
in a git repository. You can read https://github.com/AGWA/git-
|
|
|
|
crypt for details.

|
|
|
gitconfig
|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Pass options to the git config command. Since yadm already uses
|
|
|
|
the config command to manage its own configurations, this com-
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
mand is provided as a way to change configurations of the repos-
|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
itory managed by yadm. One useful case might be to configure
|
|
|
|
the repository so untracked files are shown in status commands.
|
2015-07-26 21:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm initially configures its repository so that untracked files
|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
are not shown. If you wish use the default Git behavior (to
|
|
|
|
show untracked files and directories), you can remove this con-
|
2015-07-26 21:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
figuration.

|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|

|
overridden with the -w option. yadm can be forced to overwrite
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00

2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
all managed files to be listed. Otherwise, the list will only
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|

2017-05-04 12:22:48 +00:00
|
|
|
configs, repo, and switches. The purpose of introspection is to

is usually unnecessary to run this command, as yadm automati-
|
|
|

cally processes permissions by default. This automatic behavior
|
|
|
|
can be disabled by setting the configuration yadm.auto-perms to
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|

"false".

transcrypt options
|
|
|
|
If transcrypt is installed, this command allows you to pass
|
|
|
|
options directly to transcrypt, with the environment configured
|
|
|
|
to use the yadm repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transcrypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of
|
|
|
|
files in a git repository. You can read
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/elasticdog/transcrypt for details.

|
upgrade
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Version 3 of yadm uses a different directory for storing data.
|
|
|
|
When you start to use version 3 for the first time, you may see
|
|
|
|
warnings about moving your data to this new directory. The eas-
|
|
|
|
iest way to accomplish this is by running "yadm upgrade". This
|
|
|
|
command will start by moving your yadm repo to the new path.
|
|
|
|
Next it will move any archive data. If the archive is tracked
|
|
|
|
within your yadm repo, this command will "stage" the renaming of
|
2021-01-07 15:24:11 +00:00
|
|
|
that file in the repo's index.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading will attempt to de-initialize and re-initialize your
|
|
|
|
submodules. If your submodules cannot be de-initialized, the
|
|
|
|
upgrade will fail. The most common reason submodules will fail
|
|
|
|
to de-initialize is because they have local modifications. If
|
|
|
|
you are willing to lose the local modifications to those submod-
|
|
|
|
ules, you can use the -f option with the "upgrade" command to
|
|
|
|
force the de-initialization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After running "yadm upgrade", you should run "yadm status" to
|
|
|
|
review changes which have been staged, and commit them to your
|
|
|
|
repository.

## OPTIONS
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm supports a set of universal options that alter the paths it uses.
|
|
|
|
The default paths are documented in the FILES section. Any path speci-
|
|
|
|
fied by these options must be fully qualified. If you always want to
|
|
|
|
override one or more of these paths, it may be useful to create an
|
|
|
|
alias for the yadm command. For example, the following alias could be
|
2016-04-18 22:24:04 +00:00
|
|
|
used to override the repository directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
alias yadm='yadm --yadm-repo /alternate/path/to/repo'
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
The following is the full list of universal options. Each option
|
2021-04-03 17:00:02 +00:00
|
|
|
should be followed by a path.
|
2016-04-18 22:24:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Y,--yadm-dir
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
relative to this directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--yadm-data
|
|
|
|
Override the yadm data directory. yadm stores its data relative
|
|
|
|
to this directory.
|
2016-04-18 22:24:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--yadm-repo
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## CONFIGURATION
|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm uses a configuration file named $HOME/.config/yadm/config. This
|
|
|
|
file uses the same format as git-config(1). Also, you can control the
|
|
|
|
contents of the configuration file via the yadm config command (which
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
works exactly like git-config). For example, to disable alternates you
|
|
|
|
can run the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yadm config yadm.auto-alt false
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is the full list of supported configurations:

## ALTERNATES
|
|
|
|
When managing a set of files across different systems, it can be useful
|
|
|
|
to have an automated way of choosing an alternate version of a file for
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
a different operating system, host, user, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm will automatically create a symbolic link to the appropriate ver-
|
|
|
|
sion of a file, when a valid suffix is appended to the filename. The
|
|
|
|
suffix contains the conditions that must be met for that file to be
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The suffix begins with "##", followed by any number of conditions sepa-
|
|
|
|
rated by commas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##<condition>[,<condition>,...]
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Each condition is an attribute/value pair, separated by a period. Some
|
|
|
|
conditions do not require a "value", and in that case, the period and
|
|
|
|
value can be omitted. Most attributes can be abbreviated as a single
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
letter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<attribute>[.<value>]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are the supported attributes, in the order of the weighted prece-
|
|
|
|
dence:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
template, t
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Valid when the value matches a supported template processor.
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
See the TEMPLATES section for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
user, u
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Valid if the value matches the current user. Current user is
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
calculated by running id -u -n.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distro, d
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
Valid if the value matches the distro. Distro is calculated by
|
|
|
|
running lsb_release -si or by inspecting the ID from /etc/os-
|
2019-12-05 22:53:16 +00:00
|
|
|
release.
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
os, o Valid if the value matches the OS. OS is calculated by running
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
uname -s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
class, c
|
|
|
|
Valid if the value matches the local.class configuration. Class
|
|
|
|
must be manually set using yadm config local.class <class>. See
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
the CONFIGURATION section for more details about setting
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
local.class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hostname, h
|
|
|
|
Valid if the value matches the short hostname. Hostname is cal-
|
2019-12-05 22:53:16 +00:00
|
|
|
culated by running uname -n, and trimming off any domain.
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
default
|
|
|
|
Valid when no other alternate is valid.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
extension, e
|
|
|
|
A special "condition" that doesn't affect the selection process.
|
|
|
|
Its purpose is instead to allow the alternate file to end with a
|
|
|
|
certain extension to e.g. make editors highlight the content
|
|
|
|
properly.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: The OS for "Windows Subsystem for Linux" is reported as "WSL",
|
2019-11-27 13:21:44 +00:00
|
|
|
even though uname identifies as "Linux".
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
You may use any number of conditions, in any order. An alternate will
|
|
|
|
only be used if ALL conditions are valid. For all files managed by
|
|
|
|
yadm's repository or listed in $HOME/.config/yadm/encrypt, if they
|
|
|
|
match this naming convention, symbolic links will be created for the
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
most appropriate version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "most appropriate" version is determined by calculating a score for
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
each version of a file. A template is always scored higher than any
|
|
|
|
symlink condition. The number of conditions is the next largest factor
|
|
|
|
in scoring. Files with more conditions will always be favored. Any
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
invalid condition will disqualify that file completely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't care to have all versions of alternates stored in the same
|
|
|
|
directory as the generated symlink, you can place them in the
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
$HOME/.config/yadm/alt directory. The generated symlink or processed
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
template will be created using the same relative path.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Alternate linking may best be demonstrated by example. Assume the fol-
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
lowing files are managed by yadm's repository:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##default
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##class.Work
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Darwin
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Darwin,hostname.host1
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Darwin,hostname.host2
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Linux
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Linux,hostname.host1
|
|
|
|
- $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Linux,hostname.host2
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If running on a Macbook named "host2", yadm will create a symbolic link
|
|
|
|
which looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
$HOME/path/example.txt -> $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Darwin,host-
|
|
|
|
name.host2
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2021-10-22 14:03:23 +00:00
|
|
|
However, on another Macbook named "host3", yadm will create a symbolic
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
link which looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
$HOME/path/example.txt -> $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Darwin
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Since the hostname doesn't match any of the managed files, the more
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
generic version is chosen.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-19 17:06:51 +00:00
|
|
|
If running on a Linux server named "host4", the link will be:
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
$HOME/path/example.txt -> $HOME/path/example.txt##os.Linux
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
If running on a Solaris server, the link will use the default version:
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
$HOME/path/example.txt -> $HOME/path/example.txt##default
|
2015-07-19 17:06:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
If running on a system, with class set to "Work", the link will be:
|
2017-02-10 22:32:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
$HOME/path/example.txt -> $HOME/path/example.txt##class.Work
|
2017-02-10 22:32:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
If no "##default" version exists and no files have valid conditions,
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
then no link will be created.
|
2015-07-19 17:06:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Links are also created for directories named this way, as long as they
|
2016-09-08 13:08:22 +00:00
|
|
|
have at least one yadm managed file within them.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm will automatically create these links by default. This can be dis-
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
abled using the yadm.auto-alt configuration. Even if disabled, links
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
can be manually created by running yadm alt.
|
2017-02-10 22:32:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Class is a special value which is stored locally on each host (inside
|
|
|
|
the local repository). To use alternate symlinks using class, you must
|
|
|
|
set the value of class using the configuration local.class. This is
|
2017-02-10 22:32:07 +00:00
|
|
|
set like any other yadm configuration with the yadm config command. The
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
following sets the class to be "Work".
|
2017-02-10 22:32:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yadm config local.class Work
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Similarly, the values of os, hostname, and user can be manually over-
|
|
|
|
ridden using the configuration options local.os, local.hostname, and
|
2017-02-10 22:32:07 +00:00
|
|
|
local.user.
|
|
|

## TEMPLATES

|
If a template condition is defined in an alternate file's "##" suffix,
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
and the necessary dependencies for the template are available, then the
|
|
|
|
file will be processed to create or overwrite files.

This is yadm's built-in template processor. This processor is
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
very basic, with a Jinja-like syntax. The advantage of this pro-
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
cessor is that it only depends upon awk, which is available on
|
|
|
|
most *nix systems. To use this processor, specify the value of
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
"default" or just leave the value off (e.g. "##template").

ESH ESH is a template processor written in POSIX compliant shell. It
|
|
|
|
allows executing shell commands within templates. This can be
|
|
|
|
used to reference your own configurations within templates, for
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<% yadm config mysection.myconfig %>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use the ESH template processor, specify the value of "esh"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
j2cli To use the j2cli Jinja template processor, specify the value of
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
"j2" or "j2cli".
|
2017-04-03 12:09:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
envtpl To use the envtpl Jinja template processor, specify the value of
|
|
|
|
"j2" or "envtpl".
|
2017-07-10 04:07:50 +00:00

|
|
|
|
2020-08-08 20:08:23 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: Specifying "j2" as the processor will attempt to use j2cli or
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
envtpl, whichever is available.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-08-08 20:08:23 +00:00
|
|
|
If the template processor specified is available, templates will be

2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|

## ENCRYPTION
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
It can be useful to manage confidential files, like SSH or GPG keys,
|
|
|
|
across multiple systems. However, doing so would put plain text data
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
into a Git repository, which often resides on a public system. yadm can
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
make it easy to encrypt and decrypt a set of files so the encrypted
|
|
|
|
version can be maintained in the Git repository. This feature will
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
only work if a supported tool is available. Both gpg(1) and openssl(1)
|
|
|
|
are supported. gpg is used by default, but openssl can be configured
|
|
|
|
with the yadm.cypher configuration.
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
To use this feature, a list of patterns must be created and saved as
|
|
|
|
$HOME/.config/yadm/encrypt. This list of patterns should be relative
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
to the configured work-tree (usually $HOME). For example:
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-08-12 05:56:36 +00:00
|
|
|
.ssh/*.key
|
|
|
|
.gnupg/*.gpg
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-27 13:21:44 +00:00
|
|
|
Standard filename expansions (*, ?, [) are supported. If you have Bash
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
version 4, you may use "**" to match all subdirectories. Other shell
|
2019-11-27 13:21:44 +00:00
|
|
|
expansions like brace and tilde are not supported. Spaces in paths are
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
supported, and should not be quoted. If a directory is specified, its
|
2019-11-27 13:21:44 +00:00
|
|
|
contents will be included, but not recursively. Paths beginning with a
|
2017-10-24 12:56:29 +00:00
|
|
|
"!" will be excluded.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
The yadm encrypt command will find all files matching the patterns, and
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
prompt for a password. Once a password has confirmed, the matching
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
files will be encrypted and saved as $HOME/.local/share/yadm/archive.
|
|
|
|
The "encrypt" and "archive" files should be added to the yadm reposi-
|
|
|
|
tory so they are available across multiple systems.
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To decrypt these files later, or on another system run yadm decrypt and
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
provide the correct password. After files are decrypted, permissions
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
are automatically updated as described in the PERMISSIONS section.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Symmetric encryption is used by default, but asymmetric encryption may
|
2016-04-21 12:59:43 +00:00
|
|
|
be enabled using the yadm.gpg-recipient configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: It is recommended that you use a private repository when keeping
|
2015-07-19 18:01:52 +00:00
|
|
|
confidential files, even though they are encrypted.
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Patterns found in $HOME/.config/yadm/encrypt are automatically added to
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
the repository's info/exclude file every time yadm encrypt is run.
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
This is to prevent accidentally committing sensitive data to the repos-
|
|
|
|
itory. This can be disabled using the yadm.auto-exclude configuration.

Using transcrypt or git-crypt
|
2019-12-17 13:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
A completely separate option for encrypting data is to install and use
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
transcrypt or git-crypt. Once installed, you can use these tools by
|
|
|
|
running yadm transcrypt or yadm git-crypt. These tools enables trans-
|
|
|
|
parent encryption and decryption of files in a git repository. See the
|

## PERMISSIONS
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
When files are checked out of a Git repository, their initial permis-
|
|
|
|
sions are dependent upon the user's umask. Because of this, yadm will
|
|
|
|
automatically update the permissions of some file paths. The "group"
|
2017-08-23 12:28:35 +00:00
|
|
|
and "others" permissions will be removed from the following files:
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2020-12-30 20:58:30 +00:00
|
|
|
- $HOME/.local/share/yadm/archive
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
- All files matching patterns in $HOME/.config/yadm/encrypt
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The SSH directory and files, .ssh/*
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-12 05:56:36 +00:00
|
|
|
- The GPG directory and files, .gnupg/*
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-17 00:38:43 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm will automatically update permissions by default. This can be dis-
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
abled using the yadm.auto-perms configuration. Even if disabled, per-
|
|
|
|
missions can be manually updated by running yadm perms. The .ssh
|
|
|
|
directory processing can be disabled using the yadm.ssh-perms configu-
|
|
|
|
ration. The .gnupg directory processing can be disabled using the
|
2017-08-23 12:28:35 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm.gpg-perms configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
When cloning a repo which includes data in a .ssh or .gnupg directory,
|
|
|
|
if those directories do not exist at the time of cloning, yadm will
|
2017-08-23 12:28:35 +00:00
|
|
|
create the directories with mask 0700 prior to merging the fetched data
|
|
|
|
into the work-tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When running a Git command and .ssh or .gnupg directories do not exist,
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
yadm will create those directories with mask 0700 prior to running the
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Git command. This can be disabled using the yadm.auto-private-dirs con-
|
|
|
|
figuration.

|
|
## HOOKS
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
For every command yadm supports, a program can be provided to run
|
|
|
|
before or after that command. These are referred to as "hooks". yadm
|
|
|
|
looks for hooks in the directory $HOME/.config/yadm/hooks. Each hook
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
is named using a prefix of pre_ or post_, followed by the command which
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
should trigger the hook. For example, to create a hook which is run
|
|
|
|
after every yadm pull command, create a hook named post_pull. Hooks
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
must have the executable file permission set.
|
2017-07-10 04:07:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a pre_ hook is defined, and the hook terminates with a non-zero exit
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
status, yadm will refuse to run the yadm command. For example, if a
|
|
|
|
pre_commit hook is defined, but that command ends with a non-zero exit
|
|
|
|
status, the yadm commit will never be run. This allows one to "short-
|
2017-07-10 04:07:50 +00:00
|
|
|
circuit" any operation using a pre_ hook.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Hooks have the following environment variables available to them at
|
2017-07-10 04:07:50 +00:00
|
|
|
runtime:
|
|
|
|

|
The command which triggered the hook
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
YADM_HOOK_EXIT
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
YADM_HOOK_FULL_COMMAND
|
2020-02-06 13:53:18 +00:00
|
|
|
The yadm command with all command line arguments (parameters are
|
|
|
|
space delimited, and any space, tab or backslash will be escaped
|
|
|
|
with a backslash)
|
2017-07-10 04:07:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
YADM_HOOK_REPO

All of yadm's configurations are relative to the "yadm directory".
|
|
|
|
yadm uses the "XDG Base Directory Specification" to determine this
|
|
|
|
directory. If the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined as
|
|
|
|
a fully qualified path, this directory will be $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/yadm.
|
2019-11-07 13:58:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Otherwise it will be $HOME/.config/yadm.
