dotcopy

Dotcopy tries to solve the following problem:

I want to have the same dotfiles templates across all of my machines, but with a couple change between them

It allows you to compile your dotfiles in one repository to wherever they need to be. For the developer's version of this, see his dotfiles folder

Installation

For a quick install:

curl -fsSL https://dotcopy.firesquid.co/install.sh | bash

You can also manually download and extract the tarball from the latest release.

FAQ

Why use this when home manger exists?

Home manager is great! However, it has some things that make it not perfect for everyone:

• it only works on nix
• it forces everything to be in nix (not a bad thing, just not what everyone wants)
• you can't do the different stuff for different machines with home-manager (ig you could import stuff from a different file in gitignore maybe but that's a pain)

Doesn't this waste disk space having nearly duplicate files?

cry me a river about your few kilobytes.
