Defining Default Behaviours #

Note that when syncing our configuration files for Neovim in the basic config, dt-cli aborts on existing target files. When populating items to another machine, it's better to directly overwrite (assuming you know what you are doing) the target file, so the basic config is suboptimal. What we could do is to additionally define the default overwriting behaviours with a [global] section in the configuration:

[global]
allow_overwrite = true


[[local]]
name = "Neovim"
base = "~/dt/nvim"
sources = ["*init.vim"]
target = "~/.config/nvim"

This time, with the added allow_overwrite = true, existence of target file no longer aborts the syncing process.
