About:
Dotdrop is a command-line tool that allows you to manage and synchronize your dotfiles across multiple machines. It enables you to store your configuration files in a centralized Git repository while selectively deploying them to different hosts based on specific profiles. The tool handles file templating, variable substitution, and ensures your environment is consistent everywhere.
Key Features:
  • Profile-based deployment for different machines
  • Template support with variable substitution
  • Selective file management and synchronization
  • Git integration for version control
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Managing dotfiles across personal and work computers
  • Deploying different configurations for development, staging, and production environments
  • Sharing configuration files among team members while maintaining machine-specific customizations
Alternatives:
  • chezmoi – Similar functionality with different templating approach and built-in encryption
  • yadm – Git-based dotfile manager with simpler configuration but fewer templating features
  • rcm – Lightweight toolkit for managing dotfiles without templating capabilities
