  Manage your dotfiles across multiple diverse machines, securely.

https://chezmoi.io is a dotfile manager that is runs on multiple OSes (including Windows) while handling differences from machine to machine, allows you to store your secrets in your password manager (so you don't have to store secrets in your dotfile repo), and it even supports the NO_COLOR environment variable. Check it out! Disclaimer: I'm the author.

There's a comprehensive list of the most popular dotfile managers at https://dotfiles.github.io/utilities/.

• no_color

  24 257 8.1 HTML

  Website data for no-color.org

Some of us prefer tools which work best without them.

Allow me to repeat my plea for CLI developers to take a little time to read https://no-color.org and ensure their programs honor things like NO_COLOR, npm config set color false, TERM=dumb, INSIDE_EMACS etc.
