dotdrop VS winget-cli

Oh! You should also check out dotdrop too! 😂

I use dotdrop

I am currently using AstroNvim config and I like it. I use dotdrop for backing up my dotfiles. I would like to backup my AstroNvim config to my dotfiles. Here is the current directory structure of my ~/.config/nvim:

dotdrop – Save your dotfiles once, deploy them everywhere

There are so many solutions to this problem. dotdrop works really well. GNU Stow is a thing too. I use dotdrop because it supports the concept of profiles for different machines, and you can use Jinja2 template logic in your configs.

I use Dotdrop, it fits for me, but there are a lot of different options. At Chezmoi site there is a good comparison table.

Nice! For dotfiles and stuff, I use a helpful program called dotdrop, which allows you to create configs for different machines and all your dotfiles will just be magically symlinked to where you want them.

I like dotdrop. Mainly because I have multiple machines and dotdrop can do templating, so I can more granularly control what goes into each of my machines.

You're correct here, and that's exactly the reason Winget is a package manager, as dependency management is part of teh stable release since version 1.6.3133:

Currently, I'm troubleshooting an annoying issue on my shared devices that it's a hell to delete. See this ticket: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/3365

It's also on the official microsoft package manager (winget).
