When managing dotfiles that are directories, dotdrop normally processes each file and subdirectory individually. This allows for precise control over the contents, showing individual file differences, and selectively updating files.
However, in some cases, you may prefer to treat an entire directory as a single unit.
For these scenarios, you can use the `handle_dir_as_block` option on specific dotfiles:
For these scenarios, you can use the `dir_as_block` option on specific dotfiles:
```yaml
dotfiles:
d_config:
src: app
dst: ~/.config/app
handle_dir_as_block: true
dir_as_block:
- "*app"
- "*otherdir*"
```
When this option is enabled:
- During **install** operations, the entire directory will be replaced as a whole, rather than updating individual files
- During **install** operations, any directory matching a pattern in `dir_as_block` will be replaced as a whole, rather than updating individual files
- This option has **no effect** on **compare** operations, which will always show file-by-file differences
This option defaults to `false` and can be set on any dotfile that represents a directory. It has no effect on dotfiles that are regular files.
