About:
Punktf is a versatile dotfiles manager that simplifies the synchronization of configuration files across different machines and operating systems. It uses a template-based approach to handle environment-specific variables and conditional file placement. This allows users to maintain a single source of truth for their configurations while adapting them to various development environments.

Key Features:

Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Template engine for variable substitution
Conditional file and directory targeting
Layer-based configuration inheritance

Use Cases:

Managing shell and editor configurations across multiple devices
Sharing dotfiles between personal and work machines with different setups
Maintaining environment-specific configurations for development workflows

Alternatives:

chezmoi – More mature with extensive features; Punktf offers a simpler, Rust-based alternative
yadm – Git-based with encryption; Punktf focuses on templating and portability without git dependency
dotbot – Linker-focused with YAML config; Punktf provides built-in templating and variable support
