Dotter is a dotfile manager and templater. Dotfiles are configuration files that usually live in the home directory and start with a dot. Often times, it is desirable to have a backup of all the configurations on your system, which is why a lot of users have their dotfiles saved in a git repository, then symlinking them to their target locations using ln -s . However, there are several issues with that barebones approach: - Hard to keep track of what comes from where once you have more than a handful of dotfiles - Tedious to setup on a new machine - you need to manually create every single link - No real way to handle differences between machines - say you want the battery meter on your bar to not appear on your desktop machine Dotter aims to solve all those problems by providing a flexible configuration and automatic templating or symlinking to the target locations. Installation Mac (Homebrew) Dotter is available on homebrew using brew install dotter Arch Linux The following AUR packages are available: - dotter-rs-bin for a precompiled version of the latest release - dotter-rs for the latest release's source that is built on your machine - dotter-rs-git for the latest commit on master that is built on your machine All of those are maintained by orhun - huge thanks to him!
