LGSO is a simple, lightweight tool to organize your games' save files.
LGSO will move all of your save data to $HOME/.local/share/games (or, if you set something else by editing the script or using the $XDG_DATA_HOME) and create a symlink instead of the original save locations, so games can still read all of the needed data, and all your saves will be stored in the desired location.

How to use

Simply clone this repo and execute ./lgso.sh.
There are various additional flags you can use:

  • -b or --backup -> backup game saves into a tar.
  • -d or --dir /path/to/dir -> Changes the new save location to the one you have specified (currently unavailable).
  • -D or --dry-run -> run a dry-run of LGSO, only prints the commands it will originally execute, doesn't actually execute them.
  • -r or --restore -> restore previously backed up game saves.
  • -s or --silent -> do not show output.
  • -v or --verbose -> show extra output with more info.
  • -V or --version -> output version information and exit.
  • -h or --help -> display help and exit.

LGSO currently supports 314 games.
