|

* external/imported `(dyn)variables` take precedence over

`(dyn)variables` defined inside the main config file

## Permissions
|
||||
|
||||
Dotfile allows to control the permission applied to a dotfile using the
|
||||
config dotfile entry `chmod`.
|
||||
A `chmod` entry on a directory is applied to the directory only, not recursively.
|
||||
|
||||
On `import` the following rules are applied:
|
||||
|
||||
* if the `-m --preserve-mode` switch is provided the imported file permissions are
|
||||
stored in the `chmod` entry
|
||||
* if imported file permissions differ from umask its permissions are automatically
|
||||
stored in the `chmod` entry
|
||||
|
||||
On `install` the following rules are applied:
|
||||
|
||||
* if `chmod` is specified, it will be applied to the installed dotfile
|
||||
* if file exists and its permissions differ from `umask` and no `chmod` is specified user needs
|
||||
to confirm installation (unless `-f --force` is used) **TODO unless permissions match existing file**

On `update`:

* **TODO**
|

|
||||
One `compare`:
|
||||
|
||||
* **TODO**
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to quote the `chmod` value in the config file:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
dotfiles:
|
||||
f_xinitrc:
|
||||
dst: ~/.xinitrc
|
||||
src: xinitrc
|
||||
chmod: '777'
|

```
