Show HN: Clean and simple declarative dotfile management

I'm glad you like it! I initially used a bare git repo, but I didn't like the complex setup. I typically only work on my desktop machine but as I travel more for work I have to keep my canonical emacs and window manager configurations synchronized between devices, and Python is almost always available.

A dotfile manager in this context is a way to transfer them between machines, not to edit them. As long as you're able to sync the folder containing the dotfiles (through Dropbox or Git or a thumb drive), you can use this program to install/uninstall your dotfiles on whatever machine you're using.

It allows you to keep non-centralized files in a centralized location with very little setup, basically. My window manager config lives in several different directories around my home folder, but with this I just set a mapping from repo locations to the home directory and everything is handled automatically.
