"Stash is a command-line utility written in Guile Scheme that helps organize
your files by moving them to a target location and creating symbolic links in
their original location. While it's great for managing dotfiles, it works with
any directories you want to organize.")

## Installation
There are two ways to install Stash:
### Method 1: Using Guix (Recommended)
```sh
# Install from the local package definition
guix package --install-from-file=minimal-package.scm
# Configure your shell environment:
# For Fish shell (add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish):
set -gx GUIX_PROFILE $HOME/.guix-profile
set -gx PATH $GUIX_PROFILE/bin $PATH
# For Bash (add to ~/.bashrc):
export GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
# For Zsh (add to ~/.zshrc):
export GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
```
### Method 2: Manual Installation
1. **Prerequisites**:
- Guile Scheme 3.0.9 or later
- A Unix-like environment (Linux/macOS)

stash --help
```
## Shell Integration
After installation, you might want to ensure the `stash` command is easily accessible:
1. **Using Guix Installation**:
- The command should be available after setting up your shell environment as shown above
- If not, create a symbolic link: `ln -sf ~/.guix-profile/bin/stash ~/.local/bin/stash`
2. **Using Manual Installation**:
- Add an alias to your shell config:
```sh
# For Fish (in ~/.config/fish/config.fish):
alias stash="guile -L /path/to/stash /path/to/stash/stash.scm"
# For Bash/Zsh:
alias stash='guile -L /path/to/stash /path/to/stash/stash.scm'
```
## Key Features
- **Flexible Usage**: Works with any directories, not just config files

## Installation
### Using Guix
The recommended way to install Stash is using the Guix package manager:
```sh
# Install from local package definition
guix package --install-from-file=minimal-package.scm
```
After installation, the `stash` executable will be available in your Guix profile at `~/.guix-profile/bin/stash`.
### Manual Installation
If you're not using Guix, you can install Stash manually:
1. Install prerequisites:
```sh
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install guile-3.0
# Fedora
sudo dnf install guile30
# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S guile
```
2. Clone and set up the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/stash.git
cd stash
mkdir -p ~/.guile.d/site/3.0
ln -s $(pwd)/modules/stash ~/.guile.d/site/3.0/
```
## Shell Configuration
### Fish Shell
1. Add to `~/.config/fish/config.fish`:
```fish
# Guix environment setup
set -gx GUIX_PROFILE $HOME/.guix-profile
set -gx PATH $GUIX_PROFILE/bin $PATH
# Load Guix environment variables
if test -f $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile
for line in (cat $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile | grep '^export' | string replace 'export ' '')
set var (string split '=' $line)
set -gx $var[1] (eval echo $var[2])
end
end
```
2. Alternative method using symlink:
```fish
ln -sf ~/.guix-profile/bin/stash ~/.local/bin/stash
```
### Bash Shell
Add to `~/.bashrc`:
```bash
# Guix environment setup
export GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile"
if [ -f "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" ]; then
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
fi
```
### Zsh Shell
Add to `~/.zshrc`:
```zsh
# Guix environment setup
export GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.guix-profile"
if [ -f "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile" ]; then
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
fi
```
## Basic Usage
1. Simple file stashing:
```sh
# Move a directory to backup location
stash -s ~/Documents/notes -t ~/backup/notes
```
2. Recursive stashing:
```sh
# Move entire config directory
stash -s ~/.config -t ~/.dotfiles/config -r
```
3. Interactive mode:
```sh
# Let stash prompt for target location
stash -s ~/Pictures -i
```
## Advanced Features
1. **Ignore Patterns**
- Create `.stashignore` in source directory
- Add patterns similar to `.gitignore`
```
*.tmp
.DS_Store
node_modules/
```
2. **Recursive Mode**
- Use `-r` flag for entire directory trees
- Preserves directory structure
- Creates symlinks for all subdirectories
3. **Conflict Resolution**
- Automatically detects existing files/symlinks
- Interactive prompts for resolution
- Options to skip, replace, or backup
## Configuration
1. **Environment Variables**
- `GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0`: Disable auto-compilation
- `GUILE_LOAD_PATH`: Add custom module paths
- `GUIX_PROFILE`: Set Guix profile location
2. **Global Configuration**
- System-wide ignore patterns in `/etc/stash/ignore`
- User-specific patterns in `~/.config/stash/ignore`
## Troubleshooting
1. **Command Not Found**
- Verify Guix profile is sourced correctly
- Check PATH includes `~/.guix-profile/bin`
- Try creating symlink in `~/.local/bin`
2. **Module Loading Issues**
- Ensure GUILE_LOAD_PATH includes module directory
- Check module permissions and ownership
- Verify Guile version compatibility
3. **Permission Errors**
- Check file/directory permissions
- Ensure write access to target location
- Verify symlink creation permissions
4. **Common Warnings**
- "canonicalize-path override": Normal, can be ignored
- "auto-compilation enabled": Set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0

;;; stash.scm --- A Guile script for moving directories and creating symlinks with conflict resolution
;;;
;;; Author: Glenn Thompson <glenn@kirstol.org>
;;; Version: 0.1.0-alpha.1
;;; Created: 2024-12-03
;;; Compatibility: Guile 3.0.9
;;; Keywords: symlink, file management, conflict resolution, backup
;;;
;;; Commentary:
;;;
;;; Stash is a command-line utility written in Guile Scheme designed to facilitate the movement of directories and
;;; creation of symbolic links (symlinks) for files and directories. It allows users to specify a source directory
;;; and a target directory where the symlink should be created. The utility handles potential conflicts with existing
;;; files or directories at the target location, offering users the choice to overwrite, back up, or skip the creation of new symlinks.
;;;
;;; Main Features:
;;; - Command-line argument parsing for specifying source and target paths.
;;; - Conflict detection with interactive user resolution options (overwrite, backup, skip, or cancel).
;;; - Moving directories and creating symlinks.
;;; - Simple and interactive user interface for easy use.
;;;
;;; Usage:
;;;
;;; guile -L . stash.scm --target=<target-dir> --source=<source-dir>
;;;
;;; Replace <target-dir> with the directory where you want the symlink to be created,
;;; and <source-dir> with the path to the source directory.
