Dotter is a dotfile manager and templater written in Rust 🦀. It streamlines the management of configuration files (dotfiles) by providing a flexible system for deploying and templating them across different environments.

Traditional methods of managing dotfiles often involve manually creating symbolic links or copying files, which can become cumbersome as the number of configurations grows. Dotter addresses these challenges by offering:

• Structured Configuration: Utilizing TOML files to define configurations.
• Templating Support: Allowing dynamic content within dotfiles.
• Conditional Deployment: Enabling environment-specific configurations.
• Caching Mechanism: Optimizing performance by avoiding redundant operations.

Available packages:

• dotter-rs-bin: Precompiled version of the latest release.

These packages are maintained by orhun.
