Hey Marvin, give the code in master
a try. I've reworked quite a few things and although I've been quite busy lately, I am working on making a release soon (I swear).
The new code will decend into subdirectories and perserve that structure in your repository, so all that you're left with is a directory structure and a final symlink to the configuration file you care about. It is not the same behaviour as the old approach, but it's better this way I think.
Let me know what you think, cheers,
from dotfiles.
@davidjb Thanks a lot for the kind words, it really means a lot to me. I have no idea how many (if at all) people use this thing, so it's always nice to hear when someone finds it useful.
I still have future plans for improvement, but I became a father earlier this year and things have been so crazy. I'm hoping to find some time over the holidays, I have several things queued up.

@jbernard The new code in master
looks good and it's working a treat for nested file structures; and the new CLI structure is much more intutitve, thanks! The only thing I've found is that the configuration from a .dotfilesrc
isn't loaded -- seemingly that's not yet implemented, so I'm sure you already know about it.

Yeah, I purposely tried to not implement config file parsing - I wanted to see how far I could get without it with the goal being to provide enough default behaviour that addition configuration is not needed. That was the intent anyway.

@jbernard Your tool is really excellent; I had been looking at other similar managers but they're not nearly as clear or logical. So yes, many thanks are in order!
As for the config file, this is what I was using: https://github.com/davidjb/dotfiles/blob/master/dotfilesrc -- essentially just three things: a way of setting the dotfiles
repository location, the ignore list and the externals
link. A similar way of customising those over the defaults would be ideal.
