Mackup™

\n

Keep your application settings in sync.

\n

Table of contents

\n\n

WARNING

\n

⚠️ Mackup does not work correctly in macOS Sonoma and all later versions,
\nsince it does not support symlinked files for preferences. Running this code
\nwill destroy all user preferences without a means for recovery. For more
\ninformation, see issues #1924
\nand 2035.

\n

Quickstart

\n

If you have Dropbox installed and want to use it to
\nsave your config files, that's super easy.

\n

On macOS, if you want an easy install, you can install
\nHomebrew and do:

\n
# Install Mackup\nbrew install mackup\n\n# Launch it and back up your files\nmackup backup
\n

If not running macOS, or you don't like Homebrew, you can use pip.

\n
\n

Note: The below command will check if a previous version of Mackup
\nis already installed on your system.
\nIf this is the case, it will be upgraded to the latest version.

\n
\n
# Install Mackup with PIP\npip install --upgrade mackup\n\n# Launch it and back up your files\nmackup backup
\n
\n

On Ubuntu, pip will install to the current user's home
\ndirectory rather than system-wide. Because of this, when
\ninstalling pip on Ubuntu you will need to run pip install
\nwith the --system flag as well (on other platforms this is not
\nneeded)

\n
\n

You're all set and constantly backed up from now on.

\n

Next, on any new workstation, do:

\n
# Install Mackup\nbrew install mackup\n\n# Launch it and restore your files\nmackup restore
\n

Done!

\n

You can find more detailed instructions in INSTALL.md.

\n

Usage

\n

mackup backup

\n

Backup your application settings.

\n

mackup restore

\n

Restore your application settings on a newly installed workstation.

\n

mackup uninstall

\n

Copy back any synced config file to its original place.

\n

mackup list

\n

Display the list of applications supported by Mackup.

\n

mackup -h

\n

Get some help, obviously...

\n

What does it do

\n\n

By only tracking pure configuration files, it keeps the crap out of your
\nfreshly new installed workstation (no cache, temporary and locally specific
\nfiles are transfered).

\n

Mackup makes setting up the environment easy and simple, saving time for your
\nfamily, great ideas, and all the cool stuff you like.

\n

Bullsh*t, what does it really do to my files

\n

Let's take git as an example. Your settings for git are saved in your home
\nfolder, in the .gitconfig file.

\n

Backup

\n

If you have Dropbox, these things happen when you launch mackup backup:

\n
    \n
  1. cp ~/.gitconfig ~/Dropbox/Mackup/.gitconfig
    2. \n
  2. rm ~/.gitconfig
    3. \n
  3. ln -s ~/Dropbox/Mackup/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
    4. \n
\n

Now your git config is always backed up and up to date on all your workstations.

\n

Restore

\n

When you launch mackup restore, here's what it's really doing:

\n
    \n
  1. ln -s ~/Dropbox/Mackup/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
    2. \n
\n

That's it, you got your git config setup on your new workstation.

\n

mackup does the same for any supported application.

\n

Uninstall

\n

You can revert all your files to their original state.

\n
# Just run this\nmackup uninstall
\n

This will remove the symlinks and copy back the files from the Mackup folder in
\nDropbox to their original places in your home. The Mackup folder and the files
\nin it stay put, so that any other computer also running Mackup is unaffected.

Supported Applications

\n\n

Can you support application X

\n

We can with your help ;)

\n

Personalization & configuration

\n

Have an application that shouldn't be generally supported but that you use?
\nOr a cool file you want to sync?

\n\n

Why did you do this

\n

Yesterday, I had a talk with Zach Zaro, complaining
\nabout the pain it is to reconfigure our Macbook each time we get a new one or
\ninstall from scratch. That's a talk we have already had months ago.

\n

I change my workstation every X months. Each time I either lose my apps'
\nconfigurations, or I just waste a bunch of hours getting setup like I was on my
\nold box. I also spend a lot of time reconfiguring the same stuff again on all my
\nworkstations (home, work).

\n

Boring...

\n

Some people tried to solve the problem on the application layer, like Github's Boxen,
\nbut it solves a different problem, from my point of view. I don't spend a lot
\nof time installing or downloading stuff. I spend time configuring it.

\n

For years, I've used a personal shell script that was copying known config
\nfiles into Subversion, Git or Dropbox, and linked them into my home. But I felt
\na lot of us had the same problem: Making a more generic tool could help others
\nand I could get help from others to support more apps in the tool.

\n

So here comes Mackup, the little tool that will sync all your application
\nconfigs to Dropbox (or Google Drive, or anything).

\n

And it's GPL, of course.

\n

What platforms are supported

\n\n

What's up with the weird name

\n

Mackup is just a portmanteau of Mac and Backup. It is simple, short, and easy to
\nremember, and it corresponds with the whole idea of Mackup: the simpler – the better!
\n(And I suck at naming stuff, but who doesn't.)

\n

Where can I find more information

\n

In the doc directory.
