DotfiM is capable of syncing your dotfiles across machines via
a git repository. Simply download DotfiM, build it and run
`dotfim sync <your dotfile git repo>`. DotfiM asks if you would
like to install all the dotfiles in the git repository to your
local home folder.
DotfiM is very useful if you set up your environment via
dotfiles. This could include your vim setup or how your shell
looks and behaves. The goal of DotfiM is to take your
environment setup anywhere you go.
DotfiM will create two sections in a synced dotfile:
- One section is synchronized to the git repository
- another is only kept locally
I'd be thrilled to hear if it works for you. Let me know of any
issues or ideas you might have.
Note that I've started this project almost a year ago when I
was still in "Dinfant shoes".
What is a dotfile?
Basically, it's a configuration file on UNIX systems and can be
used to customize your environment.
It would be interesting if you highlights the difference between
the traditional stow approach:

On top of my mind I have this questions:
Are you using symlinks?
Can I sync parts of the dotfiles?
