* import a file/directory to manage (this will copy the files from the filesystem to your `dotpath`): `dotdrop import <somefile>`
* install the dotfiles (will *copy/link* those from your `dotpath` to the filesystem): `dotdrop install`
Then if you happen to update the file/directory directly on the filesystem (add new file/dir, edit content, etc) you can use `update` to mirror back those changes in the `dotpath` of dotdrop.

Dotfile can be imported as a different file with the use

to use the [[templating]] to avoid duplicates and optimize
of the command line switch `--as` (effectively selecting the `src` part
of the dotfile in the config). It is however recommended
to use [templating](templating.md) to avoid duplicates and optimize
dotfiles management.
