This is Dotsync's launch 🚀
A dotfile in Linux or a Unix-like operating system is a hidden file, that is its name starts with a (.) dot, and since these files are hidden they are used for some applications’ configurations, such as the shell configuration which can be .zshrc or .bashrc depending on the shell you’re using, some Linux users like to customize their environment as much as possible, such as customizing their shell prompt and aliases, text editors like Vim, Emacs, or VS Code, window managers like i3,Openbox or DWM, file managers like mc or ranger, music players like moc or clementine and so on…
And that’s where Dotsync comes to help with!
Some users(including me) have multiple computers, that they want to synchronize these configuration files across, so that the environment stays the same, so one way to do that is using a Git repository and updating it as the files change, but this task can be a bit tedious, since it has at least 3 steps (copy, commit, push) when updating or downloading a file. Where in Dotsync all you need is one step (upload) after modifying a file.
So here I am with Dotsync, a small, free, open-source and blazingly fast dotfiles synchronizer, where it stores your files on a remote server in a secure and encrypted database.
I hope you like it, if you do, kindly star the repos, it would really make my day!
Wow, Dotsync sounds like a game-changer for dotfile management!
I'm curious, what sets Dotsync apart from other dotfile synchronizers? Is there any unique feature or approach that makes it stand out?
Also, I'd love to know if Dotsync supports version control systems like Git. It would be great to have the ability to track changes and easily revert back if needed.
Lastly, have you considered integrating with popular code editors or IDEs? It would be awesome to have seamless integration with editors like VS Code or Sublime Text, making it even more convenient to manage dotfiles.
Overall, I'm really excited to try out Dotsync and see how it simplifies my dotfile management workflow. Keep up the great work!
@alex_kachalov Thanks a lot,
What sets apart from other dotfile synchronizers (that I've seen) is that they use a git repository to backup a file, which can be tedious some times (from my point of view)
Version control sounds like a very cool idea to do, I'll probably implement it soon 😁
Integrating with IDEs sounds amazing, since it backs up all IDEs configurations to one place!
