    Looks like it works just like chezmoi but without having jinja syntax for exclusions. Honestly don’t know which I would prefer more as feels like you’ll have lots of repeated files to overwrite the base directory with this one instead of just having templates. Still very cool project

      Thanks! I guess yas-bdsm is more of a minimal, “bring your own compiler” project. You end up with a folder for your dotfiles, and it’s up to you to decide how to put stuff there.

    Dotfiles are the dumbest thing.

    I guess I’m crazy enough to believe that things that should be ‘hidden’ would be better off in their own folder.

      For sure, but I think dotfiles has become a generic term for configuration files in *nix, no matter if they are hidden files in the home directory, ~/.config, XDG Base Directories, or elsewhere.

        Yeah. It’s fucking lame. I’m just voicing my opinion that things can be done better.

        The fewer ‘weird exceptions,’ the better.
