A powerful, Rust-based command-line tool for managing dotfiles, game saves,

- **Subdirectory management** for organizing different configuration sets like themes

### **Game Save Management**
- Centralized game save backup and restore
- Support for popular free cloud storage services
- Automatic save location detection

### **Application Launcher**

- Frecency (Higher ranking for frequently and recently used apps)
- Based on reusing Terminal windows using scratchpads

## Dotfile Management

### Dotfile Structure

`ins` expects dotfile repositories to have a specific structure:

```
your-dotfiles-repo/
├── instantdots.toml          # Repository metadata
├── dots/                     # Main dotfiles directory
│   ├── .config/
│   │   ├── kitty/
│   │   │   └── kitty.conf
│   │   └── nvim/
│   │       └── init.vim
│   └── .bashrc
├── mytheme/                   # Optional: theme-specific configs
│   └── .config/
│       └── kitty/
│           └── theme.conf
└── myothertheme/              # Optional: theme-specific configs
