About:
TomlBombadil is a dotfile manager that uses TOML configuration files to manage symlinks and template variables across your system. It allows you to maintain a single source of truth for your configuration files while dynamically injecting environment-specific variables. This tool simplifies the process of keeping development environments consistent and portable.
Key Features:
  • TOML-based configuration for easy readability and editing
  • Variable substitution and templating support
  • Automatic symlink management for dotfiles
  • Hook execution for custom setup scripts
  • Theme switching capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Managing dotfiles across multiple development machines
  • Sharing configuration templates with team members
  • Switching between different tool themes or profiles
  • Automating environment setup for new workstations
Alternatives:
  • chezmoi – More feature-rich with git integration and encryption, but steeper learning curve
  • GNU stow – Simpler symlink manager without templating capabilities
  • yadm – Git-based with encryption, focuses on version control workflow
