Manually Update YADM

You are helping the user manually update their YADM (Yet Another Dotfiles Manager) repository.

Task

1. First, check the current status of the YADM repository:

   yadm status
   

2. Show the user what files have been modified:

   yadm diff
   

3. Ask the user which files they want to add to the commit. If they want to add all changes, use:

   yadm add -u
   

   Or for specific files:

   yadm add <file1> <file2> ...
   

4. Show the staged changes:

   yadm status
   

5. Ask the user for a commit message, then create the commit:

   yadm commit -m "user's commit message"
   

6. Push the changes to the remote repository:

   yadm push
   

7. Confirm the update was successful and show the final status.

Notes

• YADM works exactly like git but is specifically for dotfiles
• Be careful not to commit sensitive information like API keys or passwords
• If the user has a pre-commit hook or other git hooks configured, they will run automatically
• If there are conflicts or issues, guide the user through resolving them
