Rotz: Cross platform dotfile manager written in Rust
I've been looking for a cross-platform dotfile management tool and I had some hope for this but it seems a little too complex, and I don't like that I would end up with lots of yaml/toml/json files. I use Mac, Windows, and Linux and I want to have a single configuration for all. I've been using https://github.com/rhysd/dotfiles and it is the only thing that really works well for me.

GitHub Does Dotfiles
I've used my custom bash script for managing dotfiles for ages and also have tried all other tools, but just couldn't get it right because I work on multiple OS. Then I found https://github.com/rhysd/dotfiles. It is the only tool I know of that can support multiple OS (Linux, mac, windows). I have to work with multiple OS and having a single dotfiles repo has been great, especially its ability to set different config on different OS, well as a unified Unix-like config setting.
