homeshick: Add a file to your castle.
$ homeshick track ${castle_name} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "homeshick track ${castle_name} ${filename}" is used in the homeshick script to track a file in a castle.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "homeshick track": This is the command provided by the homeshick script to track a file. Homeshick is a tool that helps manage your dotfiles (configuration files) in a centralized repository called a "castle."

  • "${castle_name}": This is a variable representing the name of the castle where you want to track the file. A castle is a repository containing your dotfiles.

  • "${filename}": This is a variable representing the name of the file you want to track. The filename can be either a specific file or a directory.

So, when you run the command "homeshick track ${castle_name} ${filename}", you are telling homeshick to track a specific file or directory within the given castle. This means homeshick will start monitoring changes to that file, allowing you to easily synchronize it with other systems or revert changes if necessary.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
