A slight bump on this PR: are there any more blockers for merging this PR? |
I adjusted this PR to target the develop branch. Can tests and updates to the manpage be added? |
Hi @TheLocehiliosan ! Man and tests had been added! |
@soraxas - I updated the pull request to target the develop branch, but there are conflicts. Can you rebase your branch to be on top of the develop branch? |

@TheLocehiliosan A slight bump on this PR again |
@soraxas: Sorry for the long delay! I'm slowly working my way through the open PRs and I'd like to get this merged. Are you still interested in working on it? I'm wondering if making them read-only shouldn't be the default (and only?) behavior? |
Hi @erijo that's all good. I've been using my fork these whole time so I don't have a strong desire to work on this, but happy to contribute if it's not too much effort. Making them read-only is not the only option (you can set it to false). Do you mean something else (e.g., other chmod bits like executable?) I reckon making them read-only is a sane default, as why would you want to change something that a template generates? (happy to discuss this). Even the official guide in the website https://yadm.io/docs/templates#built-in-directives suggest the following block of text, which discourage user of editing it:

Allow user to tell

I always forget that the file I'm editing is an output from
yadm
template :( and loss my editing. (despite already adding a header notice on the top of the file)Config via:
$ yadm config yadm.template-read-only true

Have these commits been [signed with GnuPG][2]?
Yes
P.S.
This is a global control.
An alternative solution, that allows per-file controls, is to allow template file to have some extra parameters, e.g.,
my_config.toml##<condition>,template.esh,template.ro=true
but the original semantic of those values were conditions, so I'm not sure if that'd be a good approach
