Expand description

A CLI program for managing files across multiple devices.

You can think of hoard as a dotfiles management tool, though its intended use extends beyond that. hoard can be used for backing up and restoring any kind of file from/to any location on the filesystem. In fact, the original purpose behind writing it was to synchronize save files for games that don’t support cloud saves.
