#12Reminds me of my own project, Comtrya One of our goals is to run anywhere too, we have support for BSD as well as Windows, macOS, and Linux; as well as first class variant support for "define once, run everywhere" functionality. Our core lib is available and built to support other dot file managers, perhaps it could be useful to you. https://github.com/comtrya/comtrya
I'm yet to look at your project, but I can't say Comtrya without thinking about Stargate, so I'm kinda sold already.

#13I don't get those dotfile managers. I just have a git repo with a branch for every machine. And my dotfiles are in many formats, not just yaml toml and JSON...

#14This is really an unfortunate name - literally „snot“ in German.

Are your per-machine branches mostly distinct, or do they share a lot?
I use https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm and I find my dotfiles share _quite a bit_ in some respects (e.g. neovim config) but are drastically different in others (SSH config as one example) -- keeping things synced _across_ branches sounds very difficult. rcm handles this well, without branches, IMO.

You may be seeing a feature as a bug
Re: Rotz: Cross platform dotfile manager written in Rust
#18How’s this compare to other dotfile managers? The docs are very barebones and don’t explain the benefits to using this, or really what this is doing under the hood.

#19I just wrote my own dotfiles manager in Ruby [1]. Not too hard, imo.

Edit: I agree that the path/old_path/new_path naming is confusing, I just never got around to refactoring it. :/

#20What a coincidence. I was looking at awesome dotfiles on GitHub. I started thinking of jumping onto the "manage dotfile" bandwagon after reading today's LWN note on the GNU Stow release. I shortlisted Chezmoi and Comtrya to play with. Then I saw this.
