  • README states "I have since discovered Chezmoi, which has many of the same features as filetailor and is much more mature. I recommend using Chezmoi instead. However, Chezmoi does rely on templates, unlike filetailor."

What is filetailor?

filetailor is a peer-based configuration management utility for plain-text files (and directories) such as dotfiles. Files are backed up to a specified folder using filetailor, transferred to another device using tools such as Nextcloud or Syncthing, and then restored on other devices using filetailor again.

During the backup and restore process, filetailor can modify the file contents and path for the specific device according to variables and line-specific controls defined in YAML.
