rootrat

A simple dotfiles manager. Track files and directories, sync them between your system and a git-backed repo.

Install

cargo install rootrat

Quick start

# Initialize a new dotfiles repo
mkdir ~/dotfiles && cd ~/dotfiles
rootrat init

# Start tracking files
rootrat add ~/.config/ghostty/config
rootrat add ~/.config/nvim  # directories work too

# See what's tracked
rootrat status

# After editing your dotfiles, collect changes into the repo
rootrat collect

# On another machine, clone and apply
rootrat init github.com/you/dotfiles

Commands

Command	Description
`init [url]`	Initialize repo, or clone from a URL
`add <path>`	Track a file or directory
`rm <path>`	Stop tracking
`status`	Show tracked file states
`diff [path]`	Show differences between repo and system
`collect`	Sync system changes into the repo
`apply`	Sync repo files to the system (interactive)

How it works

rootrat keeps two config files:

~/.config/rootrat/rootrat.toml -- points to your repo directory
<repo>/rootrat.toml -- lists tracked files, directories, and ignore patterns

All repo changes are auto-committed with git. The repo is yours to push, pull, and share.
