Struct PathSection 

pub struct PathSection {
    pub auto_chmod_exec: bool,
}

PATH handler settings.

Fields

auto_chmod_exec: bool

Automatically add execute permissions (+x) to files inside bin/ directories staged by the path handler.

Rationale

Files placed in a bin/ directory are there because the pack author intends them as executables — the directory’s purpose is to expose commands via $PATH. However, execute bits can be lost in common workflows:

• Git on macOS defaults to core.fileMode = false, so cloned repos may have 0o644 on scripts.
• Manual file creation often forgets chmod +x.

Without +x the shell finds the file via PATH lookup but fails with “permission denied” — a confusing error when the file is clearly in the right place.

With this option enabled (the default), dodot up ensures every file in a path-handler directory is executable, matching the user’s intent. Files that are already executable are left untouched. Failures are reported as warnings, not hard errors.

Set to false if you have bin/ files that intentionally should not be executable (e.g. data files or library scripts sourced by other scripts).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for PathSection

fn clone(&self) -> PathSection

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Config for PathSection

const META: Meta

A description of this configuration.

type Layer = PathSectionLayer

A layer of Self (a potentially partial configuration).

fn from_layer(layer: Self::Layer) -> Result<Self, Error>

Tries to create Self from a layer and validates itself.

fn builder() -> Builder<Self>

Convenience builder to configure, load and merge multiple configuration sources. Sources specified earlier have a higher priority; later sources only fill in the gaps. After all sources have been loaded, the default values (usually specified with #[default = ...]) are merged (with the lowest priority).

fn from_file(path: impl Into<PathBuf>) -> Result<Self, Error>

Load the configuration from a single file.

impl Debug for PathSection

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for PathSection

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Serialize for PathSection

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
