Globbing and excluding groups

Globbing

Globbing permits you to select every group at once. Using * is the same as selecting every group that match the following criteria:

• Is not currently symlinked
• Does not contain conflicting files
• Is supported by the current platform (for example group_windows would only work on windows, group_linux only on linux, group everywhere)

If you try to use tuckr add -f \* to try to override every conflict, this won't work. You need to manually name every group you want to override like so tuckr add -f group1 group2. It's recommended that you don't blindly just override everything, check tuckr status <groups> to see what files are causing conflict and if you want to delete or adopt certain files or if you you're 100% sure that is the case for all the files you can then use the -a or -f flags, otherwise you could always just manually resolve them, depending on your needs.

$ tuckr add \*

Note: on some systems the glob symbol * is not part of the shell's operators and thus do not need to be escaped.

Exclusion

Exclusion permits you to exclude specified groups

$ tuckr a firefox nvim hyprland -e firefox
$ tuckr a \* -e firefox,nvim,hyperland

Exclusion is most useful when globbing, it allows you to add and remove groups en masse.
