EnvHub is a simple tool to manage dotfiles and packages accross multiple machines.

Written in Rust, internally it uses nix/homebrew/pkgx/devbox to manage packages and home-manager/stow to manage dotfiles.

curl -sSL https://install.envhub.sh | bash

Using Cargo :

cargo install envhub

Using Nix :

cachix use tsirysndr
nix profile install --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" github:tsirysndr/envhub

Compile from source :

Or download the latest release for your platform here.

🚀 Quick Start

Initialize a new environment :

envhub init

It will create a new envhub.hcl file and a dotfiles directory in the current directory.

You can then edit the envhub.hcl file to add packages and add dotfiles to the dotfiles directory.

Enable the environment :

envhub use

📚 Example

The following example will install the hello package, set the EDITOR environment variable to vim, and copy the .screenrc and gradle.properties files from the current directory to the home directory.

# Path: envhub.hcl
packages = [
  "hello"
]

envs {
  "EDITOR" = "vim"
}

file ".screenrc" {
  source = ".screenrc"
}

file ".gradle/gradle.properties" {
  content = "org.gradle.daemon=true"
}
