📦 version 2.4.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 DASHT-DOCSETS-INSTALL 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the dasht-docsets-install page from the General Commands Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're being official today 🎀. This is lowkey the tool that grabs you brand new Dash (<https://kapeli.com/dash>) docsets, and honestly? iconic behavior.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dasht-docsets-install [OPTION...] [NAME...]

🌸 Examples

  • dasht-docsets-install — installs all new Dash (<https://kapeli.com/dash>) docsets currently available. the whole buffet, no cap 🍓
  • dasht-docsets-install sh — installs new Dash (<https://kapeli.com/dash>) docsets whose names contain "sh". cute and targeted 💖
  • dasht-docsets-install sh 'c$' — installs new Dash (<https://kapeli.com/dash>) docsets whose names contain "sh" or end in "c". two vibes, one command 🦋

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the tea: this thing installs new Dash (<https://kapeli.com/dash>) docsets whose names match the NAME regex(7) patterns you hand it. 🫶

If you don't give it any NAMEs at all, it just matches all the new docsets available for install — main character energy, takes the whole menu fr fr.

⚠️ Unless you force it, this operation prompts you to confirm for every single match. yes, every one. so if you matched 40 docsets, bestie, you're gonna be pressing yes 40 times 😭

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -f, --force — forces the operation by overriding the interactive confirmation prompt. no questions, no "are you sure", it just goes. use responsibly 💅

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • DASHT_DOCSETS_DIR — defines the filesystem location where your Dash (<https://kapeli.com/dash>) docsets are installed. if it's undefined, its value is assumed to be $XDG_DATA_HOME/dasht/docsets/ or, if XDG_DATA_HOME is undefined, $HOME/.local/share/dasht/docsets/. so it always finds a home, periodt 💜
  • DASHT_CACHE_DIR — defines the filesystem location where download links are cached. if it's undefined, its value is assumed to be $XDG_CACHE_HOME/dasht/ or, if XDG_CACHE_HOME is also undefined, $HOME/.cache/dasht/. cached links live somewhere, always ✨
