Usage

In the directory from where the app is started, the install.sdl manifest file is required: there should be specified folder installation details:

# the "install" section is mandatory
install {
  # executes specified commands, unless requirements below met
  exec "git submodule -q update --init" {
    # requirements:
    // file should be created in $PWD
    creates:file `LS_COLORS/.git`
    creates:file `zsh-completions/.git`
    creates:file `zsh-syntax-highlighting/.git`
  }

  ln "bashrc", "~/.bashrc"
  ln "bash_profile", "~/.bash_profile"
}

Without arguments - shows current state:

me@host:~/doftiles$ myrc
/home/me/dotfiles:
+ /home/me/dotfiles/bashrc -> /home/me/.bashrc
- /home/me/dotfiles/bash_profile # no such file or directory (need -> /home/me/.bash_profile)

The install sub-command issues the install process:

me@host:~/doftiles$ myrc
/home/me/dotfiles install:
  /home/me/dotfiles/bashrc -> /home/me/.bashrc
  /home/me/dotfiles/bash_profile -> /home/me/.bash_profile
