[Dotdrop](https://github.com/deadc0de6/dotdrop) is a dotfile manager written in Python3
|
|
that provides efficient ways of managing your dotfiles. It is especially powerful when
|
|
it comes to managing those across different hosts.
|
|
|
|
The main idea of dotdrop is to have the ability to store each dotfile only once and deploy them with a different content on different hosts/setups. To achieve this, it uses jinja2 which is a templating engine that allows to specify, during the dotfile installation with dotdrop, based on a selected profile, how (with what content) each dotfile will be installed.

|
|
* [✔] **VERSIONED**
|
|
|
|
Be it on github, gitlab, gitolite or your own git solution, make
|
|
sure you are able to keep a history of your changes
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **GET QUICKLY STARTED**
|
|
|
|
Get easily all your dotfiles imported and use dotdrop to manage them
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **NO DUPLICATES, EFFICIENT**
|
|
|
|
Each dotfile is stored only once, dotdrop allows to template those
|
|
such that the same dotfile is customized when deployed on the host you're working on
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **HANDLE MULTIPLE PROFILES**
|
|
|
|
Different profiles can be defined that allows for a fine-grained control over which
|
|
dotfiles has to be installed on different hosts (home, work, vps, etc)
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **GRANULARITY CONTROL OF EACH PROFILE**
|
|
|
|
Some hosts/profiles will have all your dotfiles installed while others might just
|
|
need a subset of the dotfiles
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **TO SYMLINK OR NOT TO SYMLINK**
|
|
|
|
You can choose for each dotfile if you want it to be symlinked or
|
|
directly copied to its final destination
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **POST DEPLOYMENT ACTION**
|
|
|
|
Actions can be executed each time a specific dotfile is installed, for
|
|
example to install a package, setup some directories, call a tool to update, etc
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **HANDLE SENSITIVE INFORMATION**
|
|
|
|
Multiple solutions are available to handle dotfiles containing sensitive information
|
|
as well as fully encrypted dotfiles/rc files
|
|
|
|
* [✔] **QUICK COMPARE**
|
|
|
|
Quickly compare your local dotfiles with the one managed by dotdrop
|
|
|
|
… and much more …
