+summary:        It makes the management of dotfiles between different hosts easy.
+description: >
+  It allows to store your dotfiles on git and automagically deploy
+  different versions of the same file on different setups.
+
+  It also allows to manage different *sets* of dotfiles.
+  For example you can have a set of dotfiles for your home laptop and
+  a different set for your office desktop. Those sets may overlap and different
+  versions of the same dotfiles can be deployed on different predefined *profiles*.
+  Or you may have a main set of dotfiles for your
+  everyday's host and a sub-set you only need to deploy to temporary
+  hosts (cloud VM, etc) that may be using
+  a slightly different version of some of the dotfiles.
