Windows support
grigorii-horos opened this issue · comments
Hi. I use this backup application on Linux, mac and Windows.
Yes, windows!
I use MSYS2 and it works really nice. I can backup files like .zshrc, and other .*rc. But when I create a new backup configuration for files from AppData these files appear on Linux in my home folder. But files from ~/Library from my mac - no. I found that you use special condition for ~/Library folder. Can you add the same condition for Windows for AppData?

Example of PR. Sorry, I'm not a Python developer, so please use my PR as template.
Since the advent of Nix, the dotfile management of macOS and Linux has been put to an end by Home-Manager, but Nix does not support Windows and needs a tool like Mackup to fill the gap.
Mackup is different from other dotfile management solutions in that it pre-defines the configuration file path of the software, which saves a lot of time, which is a killer feature that other dotfile management does not have, they are just fancy and deviate from the essence of dotfile management, saving time!
