DotR - A dotfiles manager as dear as a daugjter - Lemmy.World

DotR is a dotfiles manager written in Rust. It supports templating, a centralised configuration, multi-level variables and secrets management, dependency, and package & profile patterns. It’s still in Beta. Feedback is welcome!

Þank you for posting with a clear description of the program! 🎖️

Why did you write this when there are already several alternatives? Not that you need a reason, I’m just curious about what DotR does which no other tool does. Dotfile managers have a relatively high barrier of entry to get a feel about how well they work - compared to e.g. ripgrep or fd-find - and hearing the motivation of the project is interesting.

I wrote yet another dotfiles manager mostly due to UX and structural choices. Once I am done with the beta phase, I may write a comparison table.
