A while back I got very interested in cleaning up my configuration files. I wanted to figure out out a way to store all of the configurations I use across multiple machines into a single repository, while at the same time not having to worry about symlinking and installing configurations for things I don't need on a particular machine.

I looked at a lot of different things like Stow and homeshick and the like and really didn't like any of the solutions. So I ended up writing my own tool.

I've wanted to write up something for it for awhile now and post it around, but I just haven't yet. Anyway, here's my tool: https://github.com/EvanPurkhiser/dots

Hi, I'm the maintainer of homeshick and would be very interested in knowing which shortcomings of homeshick motivated you to write your own tool. Could you elaborate?
