atom-molecule v0.1.5

Molecule

A CLI tool for backing up and restoring Atom Packages.

Install and Setup

npm i -g atom-molecule
npm link

Usage

backup packages to manifest.json

mlcl -b

add these files to your dotfiles gitignore

.atom/compile-cache
.atom/packages
.atom/storage

commit your .atom folder to your dotfiles

when installing atom on a new system just run

mlcl -r

Options

--backup, -b, backup atom packages to ~/.atom/manifest.json, by default backup will ignore disabledPackages
[-d] forces molecule to backup disabledPackages

--restore, -r restores packages from ~/.atom/manifest.json
[--silence, -s] silence install output from apm

--help, -h, ?, output help

TODO

• install package dependencies ? (does apm do this already?)
• respect package versions described in package.json (use npm)
• fallback to git if apm not installed?
• skip installed packages on restore
