#44What 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.
Been using chezmoi for a while now and mostly happy with it. Managing most of my work and personal configs/dotfiles for PowerShell Core, bash, and zsh across Windows, Mac, and Linux. The only problem I've run into is that while chezmoi supports tracking files/directories as read-only, once they are created they can't be updated anymore because chezmoi isn't smart enough to swap them to writable and back.

#45I 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...
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.

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, kind of my first thought, and it reminded me of similar fun stuff like Wix, Mitsubishi Pajero, etc. The developer seems to be from Austria, so yeah, he knew what he was doing.
Figma sounds like fick ma' (just fuck)
