dots
Dotfiles managed by chezmoi and pass.
Work only on distro linux including the installer: ( tested on a fresh install of Gentoo, Archlinux, Void and Debian )
emerge: Gentoo, Pentoo, Funtoo.pacman: Archlinux, Manjaro, Antergos, ArchBang,...apt-get: Debian, Kali, etc...xbps-install: Voidlinux. Tested on a clean install of the rootfs-glibc and rootfs-musl.
Why i switch on chezmoi?
- Even with GNU/Stow, i have to modify a lot of files each time i install/reinstall a new system, i start hating this !
- Template are great.
- Possibility of encrypt files.
- Install and updates are easy.
