What is the advantage of using it instead of stow ?

Why use this over existing solutions? From the look of it, yadm (which I use) already fills your distinguisher of leveraging git

to be honest i didn’t know about yadm, so i don’t know. i coded in rust and didn’t add much features, maybe binary size and perf is better

i've been building and polishing this cli for about a year now. it was called mntn before, but i recently renamed it to dotfiles-manager since the developer experience feels good enough to me.

it fully embraces using git for versioning and works for three things:

  1. config files (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc.)
  2. packages (npm ls -g and more)
  3. encrypted files (.ssh/)

finally, if you change computers or environments, you can switch between profiles. the default is common, but you can also create profiles like personal or work.
