GitHub - SuperCuber/dotter: A dotfile manager and templater written in rust 🦀

May be the first dotfile manager to move me away from my beloved GNU stow setup -

  • it does everything stow does (in fact, you can migrate without changing your repo),
  • but it also does templating of files (amazing if some program has to change its config files every now and again)
  • plus it allows different deployment targets with config-merging and multiple includes (e.g. you can have a modular graphics, wm and so on setup and enable/disable anything based on deploying to Win/Linux/Mac)

Seems powerful and since it is contained in a single rust binary we can also quickly bootstrap with a simple script in the beginning.
