| # nvimbak | |
| # | |
| # Description: | |
| # This script creates a backup of the user's dotfiles directory and starts | |
| # Neovim with the backup configuration. The backup directory and any submodules | |
| # are reset to the latest Git commit - which is assumed to be working. | |
| # | |
| # NEOVIM_ARGS: Optional arguments to pass to Neovim. These arguments will be | |
| # passed to Neovim when it is started with the backup configuration. | |
| # | |
| # Dependencies: | |
| # - Git | |
| # - Neovim | |
| # | |
| # Installation: | |
| # 1. Save this script to a file (e.g., nvimbak.sh) | |
| # 2. Move the script to /usr/local/bin: | |
| # sudo mv nvimbak.sh /usr/local/bin/nvimbak | |
| # 3. Make the script executable: | |
| # sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvimbak | |
| # | |
| # After installation, you can run the script with: | |
| # nvimbak [NEOVIM_ARGS...] | |
| # Update this to match your dotfiles directory | |
| dotfiles="$HOME/dotfiles" | |
| dotfiles_bak="$HOME/dotfiles.bak" | |
