OS Specific Configuration

You can specify different behaviors per OS in all configuration files.

Rotz can differentiate between Windows, Linux and MacOS.

To specify OS Specific behavior you need to add top level keys named linux, windows, darwin (for MacOS) and general (applied to all OSs).

yaml

Example: dots.yaml

windows:
  installs:
    cmd: scoop install {{ name }}
    depends:
      - scoop
      - extras
darwin:
  installs:
    cmd: brew install {{ name }}
    depends:
      - brew

toml

Example: dots.toml

[windows]

[windows.installs]

cmd = 'scoop install {{ name }}'
depends = [
  'scoop',
  'extras',
]

[darwin]

[darwin.installs]

cmd = 'brew install {{ name }}'
depends = [
  'brew',
]

json

Example: dots.json

{
  "windows": {
    "installs": {
      "cmd": "scoop install {{ name }}",
      "depends": [
        "scoop",
        "extras"
      ]
    }
  },
  "darwin": {
    "installs": {
      "cmd": "brew install {{ name }}",
      "depends": [
        "brew"
      ]
    }
  }
}

yaml

Example: neovim/dot.yaml

windows:
  links:
    ginit.vim: ~/AppData/Local/nvim/ginit.vim
    init.vim: ~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim
global:
  links:
    ginit.vim: ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
    init.vim: ~/.config/nvim/ginit.vim

toml

Example: neovim/dot.toml

[windows]

[windows.links]

'ginit.vim' = '~/AppData/Local/nvim/ginit.vim'
'init.vim' = '~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim'

[global]

[global.links]

'ginit.vim' = '~/.config/nvim/init.vim'
'init.vim' = '~/.config/nvim/ginit.vim'

json

Example: neovim/dot.json

{
  "windows": {
    "links": {
      "ginit.vim": "~/AppData/Local/nvim/ginit.vim",
      "init.vim": "~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim"
    }
  },
  "global": {
    "links": {
      "ginit.vim": "~/.config/nvim/init.vim",
      "init.vim": "~/.config/nvim/ginit.vim"
    }
  }
}

You can also combine multiple OSs per key separating them with a |.
