Dotbot should be able to automatically update any and all files I have being tracked

maybe I’m not understanding this, but shouldn’t it be obvious to have a ./install update or something that looks through all the files I’m symlinking and prepares a commit for me?

it would be a lot better than having to manually add each dotfile into install.conf.yaml and then add all of them to git as well.

I implemented this as a Git hook.

that way I could say, “dotbot, there are some new files I want you to track in git for me, look through your config and make sure it has everything that’s in this folder, if not add it”

then dotbot might look, notice all the files that are new, and then add them to it’s own config.

from there you just git add/commit etc.
