Dotdrop

The main idea of Dotdropis to have the ability to store each dotfile only once and deploy them with a different content on different hosts/setups. To achieve this, it uses a templating engine that allows to specify, during the dotfile installation with dotdrop, based on a selected profile, how (with what content) each dotfile will be installed.

What I like:

• Popular
• Actively maintained
• Written in Python
• Uses jinja2
• Has a nice to read config file

What I don't like:

• Updating dotfiles doesn't look as smooth as with chezmoi
• Uses {{@@ @@}} instead of {{ }} :S
• Doesn't support pass.
• Not easy way to edit the files.
