For Bash:
source $HOME/.dotbins/shell/bash.shFor Zsh:
source $HOME/.dotbins/shell/zsh.shFor Fish:
source $HOME/.dotbins/shell/fish.fishFor Nushell:
source $HOME/.dotbins/shell/nushell.nudotbins syncdotbins sync tool1 tool2dotbins sync --currentdotbins sync --forceAll available commands
dotbins list # List all available tools
dotbins init # Initialize directory structure
dotbins sync # Install and update tools to their latest versions
dotbins readme # Regenerate this README
dotbins status # Show installed tool versions
dotbins get REPO # Install tool directly to ~/.local/bin
For detailed usage information, run dotbins --help or dotbins <command> --help
