Builds

A build is a saved snapshot of a repository’s gitkit configuration — hooks, ignore templates, attributes and config presets — stored as a TOML file under ~/.gitkit/builds/.

Builds turn your preferred setup into a one-liner for every future project.

Workflow

# Configure a repo the way you like, then save it
gitkit build save rust-dev --description "Rust development setup"

# Apply it to any other project
cd /path/to/other/project
gitkit build apply rust-dev

Managing builds

gitkit build list             # list saved builds
gitkit build save <name>      # save current repo config as a build
gitkit build apply <name>     # apply a saved build
gitkit build delete <name>    # delete a saved build

Because builds are plain TOML files, you can version them in your dotfiles and share them across machines.
