Full Changelog: v5.0.1...v5.1

shallow-backup v5.0.1

shallow-backup v5.0.1

shallow-backup v5.0.0a

In this release, the shallow-backup config gets an overhaul, now allowing bash expressions to be used to conditionally backup and reinstall dotfiles. Additionally, the command line option names have been standardized to make them more easily predictable.

Code optimizations and improved testing routines have also been added, and some minor bugs were fixed. Check CHANGELOG.md for more details.
