boxxy

Redirect file locations for programs that don’t respect the XDG standards. More information: https://github.com/queer/boxxy.

• Run a program with file redirections defined in ~/.config/boxxy/boxxy.yaml:

boxxy {{program}}

• Scan your home directory for rule suggestions:

boxxy scan

• Trace what files a program touches and save a report in boxxy-report.txt in the current directory:

boxxy {{[-t|--trace]}} {{program}}

• Pass a redirection rule directly on the terminal:

boxxy {{[-r|--rule]}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}:{{path/to/redirection}}:{{file|directory}} {{program}}

• View the config file:

boxxy config

• Display help:
