About:
Dotter is a dotfile manager and templater written in Rust that synchronizes configuration files across multiple machines. It uses a centralized repository of dotfiles with customizable templates to handle system-specific configurations. The tool provides a safe and idempotent way to manage symlinks and file generation, ensuring consistent environments.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Templating engine with variable substitution
  • Idempotent and safe deployment
  • Cache and script execution support
  • Minimal runtime dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Managing dotfiles across multiple development machines
  • Automating environment setup with system-specific configurations
  • Synchronizing shell, editor, and tool configurations
Alternatives:
  • chezmoi – More feature-rich with built-in encryption and templating; written in Go
  • GNU stow – Simpler symlink manager without templating; lightweight and Unix-focused
