# SimpleIcons' Tower is git-tower.com's mark.

icon = "SimpleIcons:tower"

# `gittower` is the command-line tool Tower installs; the Homebrew cask `tower`

# links it out of the bundle ("$APPDIR/Tower.app/Contents/MacOS/gittower").

detect = ["gittower"]

# Tower has a Windows build too, but only the macOS locations below were

# verified, so the entry claims macOS alone rather than guessing.

platforms = ["macos"]

# One entry for what the application list spells as three: `tower`, `tower-2`

# and `tower-3` are the same Git client's successive major versions, and the

# number is part of the identifier rather than of the product name — today's

# Tower 17 still writes com.fournova.Tower3. The Homebrew cask's `zap trash:`

# already treats them as one family, globbing the version out:

# ~/Library/Application Support/com.fournova.Tower*

# ~/Library/Preferences/com.fournova.Tower*.plist

# ~/Library/Caches/com.fournova.Tower*

# ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.fournova.Tower*.savedState

# so the same glob is used here and covers whichever generation is installed.

paths = [

"[appData]/com.fournova.Tower*/",

"[preferences]/com.fournova.Tower*.plist",

]

# The cask's cache and crash-reporter directories

# (~/Library/Caches/com.fournova.Tower*, ~/Library/HTTPStorages/…,

# ~/Library/Caches/com.plausiblelabs.crashreporter.data/…) are all outside the

# two paths above, so there is nothing to carve out of what is listed.

exclude = []

# Not marked secret, but worth knowing what is in there: the support directory

# is Tower's own — the repository bookmarks and their absolute paths, the

# services (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) the user connected, the custom

# workflows. Tower's hosting-service accounts and SSH key passphrases go to the

# macOS Keychain rather than to a file under the home directory, which is the

# subject of its own "Using and Managing SSH Keys" guide. No file among the

# paths above is a credential end to end.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: the preferences are a binary property list and the support

# directory's bookmark store is a database, neither of which prefix nor

# key_path matching can read. The machine-local part of it is the list of

# repository paths on this Mac; a consumer that can read those formats should

# drop them itself.
