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.
