Dotfarmer

My personal dotfile manager, borne out of what I wanted that I wasn't getting (I don't like template files).

General gist

• where.json defines where you want your dots to go, per-platform.

{
    "neovim": { 
        "source": "nvim", <-- relative to your dotfile repo's root. folders supported! :D 
        "windows": "~/AppData/Local/",
        "darwin": "~/.config/",
    }
}

• similar to Chezmoi, running dotfarmer apply will diff the source state and the target state, and apply changed files

TODO!

• Implement basic feature set
  • Read where.json
  • Diff target state
  • Apply target state
• Plan out how to handle per-machine content differences, vs. location differences
  • using templates here is probably fine, just try to minimize complexity as much as humanly possible
