About

gnome-settings stores individual dconf configs. It is a tool to quickly load and dump them, primarily as a backup between machines.

I guess technically things other than gnome use dconf. Whatever.

Installation

git clone git@github.com:bclarkx2/gnome-settings

Usage

Create a new settings store

./new setting path

• setting - the short name for this particular setting you want to save. This is just a short identifier and doesn't have to match anything in dconf. Ex: "custom-keybindings"
• path - the dconf settings path for this setting

Dump a setting

./dump setting

This will copy the dconf config for this setting from your machine to the appropriate folder in the setting directory.

Load a setting

./load setting

This will load the config in the setting direcotry onto your machine.

Load/Dump all settings

./all [ dump | load ]

Will either dump or load each setting in the repository.
