About yadm

yadm tracks dotfiles with a Git repository whose work tree is your home directory, so ordinary Git commands work, and adds alternate files per host or operating system, Jinja templating and transparent encryption of sensitive files. Nothing is symlinked.

Strengths

  • Plain Git with your home directory as the work tree, so nothing new to learn
  • Alternate files per host and built-in encryption for secrets

Limitations

  • Requires care so that the repository does not pick up unrelated home files
  • Unix shells only
