yadm

You can configure Git author information globally using the git config command, and then manage it via yadm. For example: git config --global user.email "your-email@domain" and git config --global user.name "Your Name". To add this to your yadm repository, use yadm add ~/.gitconfig. Alternatively, you can configure these settings specifically for your yadm repo using yadm gitconfig.

By default, yadm ignores untracked files. To display them, use the -unormal parameter: yadm status -unormal. To change the default behavior, you can configure it in the yadm repository itself using yadm gitconfig --unset status.showUntrackedFiles.

You can use the yadm add command with the -u parameter: yadm add -u :/. Note that the :/ is not necessary starting with Git 2.0.

You can change the URL of your remote yadm repository using the yadm remote set-url command. For example: yadm remote set-url origin .

Yes, it is recommended to add your yadm configurations (stored in ~/.config/yadm/config) to your repository. This allows your configurations to follow you when you clone your repository.

Yes, you only need gpg, openssl, transcrypt, or git-crypt installed if you plan on using the encrypt/decrypt features. yadm will inform you if a dependency is missing for any command.

No, you should not add encrypted files directly to the repository. Instead, add the names or wildcard patterns of the files you want encrypted to ~/.config/yadm/encrypt. Then use the yadm encrypt command to encrypt the matched files, which adds them to ~/.local/share/yadm/archive. Finally, add ~/.local/share/yadm/archive to your repository.

You can configure ignored files by adding a .gitignore file to your $HOME directory or sub-directories, similar to how you would with Git. Alternatively, you can add patterns to $HOME/.local/share/yadm/repo.git/info/exclude. Be sure to add these files to your repository so they can be synced.
