dotsync

Manage dotfiles like a boss — keep your dotfiles in sync across machines from a single TOML file.

dotsync is a single, self-contained binary for synchronizing dotfiles between a machine and a mirror/repository, in either direction, with diff preview, backups, filtering, hooks, and a live-watch daemon. It has no runtime prerequisites — download the binary and run it on a fresh machine.

This is the Go rewrite of dotsync. The original Ruby gem lives at dsaenztagarro/dotsync-ruby and remains installable via gem install dotsync during the transition. See docs/architecture/decisions for the rationale behind the rewrite.

Under active migration from the Ruby implementation. The engine (path matching, directory diffing, file transfer) and the pull/push/watch commands are being ported behind a differential harness that checks behavioral parity against the Ruby version.

go build ./cmd/dotsync   # build the binary
go test ./...            # run the test suite
