Save game management

Collection of scripts in order to move all (as much as i can) save of my video games in one remote place (eg. Nextcloud directory,…). Then a symbolic link should take place of the directories. This allows me to :

• Have save in the cloud for all games !
• Easily find my save in one place.
• Easily backup everything (one tar to backup them all).
• Synchronize save between Linux hosts.
• Restore save if anything happens to my game computer.
• Everything that Nextcloud allows me to do (access from anywhere, share,…).

How-to use

Run the main script to automatically run the 3 others :

~/repos/gardouille.scripts/games/save.game

This will run :

• save.game.steam : Try to move or symlink saves from 3 Steam's directories, userdata, common and compatdata.
• save.game.xdg : Try to move or symlink save that respect the XDG specifications (~/.config and ~/.local/share).
• save.game.home : Try to move or symlink other saves that the devs have seen fit to place anywhere else…
