init

Initialize a dot-man repository with interactive setup wizard.

Example

dot-man init   # detects your dotfiles, tracks what you confirm

Usage

dot-man init
dot-man init --import        # Import from existing git repo
dot-man init --no-wizard    # Manual setup without the wizard

What It Does

1. Creates ~/.config/dot-man/repo/ with a git repository
2. Runs an interactive wizard to detect and add common dotfiles
3. Generates a dot-man.toml configuration file
4. Creates initial commit

Interactive Wizard

The wizard auto-detects common dotfile locations:

Category	Locations Checked
Shell	.bashrc, .zshrc, .config/fish/config.fish
Editor	.config/nvim/, .vimrc, .emacs.d/
Terminal	.config/kitty/, .config/alacritty/
Git	.gitconfig
SSH	.ssh/config
Window Manager	.config/hypr/, .config/sway/

Options

Flag	Description
--force	Reinitialize even if already exists
--no-wizard	Skip interactive setup wizard
--sandbox	Test init in a temporary sandbox directory
--import	Import from an existing git repository

Examples

# Basic initialization
dot-man init

# Import existing dotfiles repo
cd ~/my-dotfiles
dot-man init --import

# Manual setup without the wizard
dot-man init --no-wizard
