Jefer: A Simple Dotfiles Manager

Jefer is a VERY simple (with <200 lines of code!) dotfiles management tool written in Python.

If you Google for dotfiles manager, you will stumble upon a countless alternatives. And each one of those tools are very good due to their maturity & the community support. You can read more of such alternatives in the project documentation - "https://jefer.vercel.app/about-the-project/alternatives-to-jefer"

And when compared to the existing alternatives, Jefer provides:

1. True cross-platform support thanks to Python (but support for Windows is not tested reliably).

2. Hands-on configuration experience for your tools, Jefer stays away from how you configure your tools. It only manages them in a version-control environment.

3. Offers a minimal & intuitive user-experience meaning, the user no longer has to memorise way too many command-line options & flags.

NOTE: Development on Jefer is still underway & its still a very work-in-progress project, so expect things to break or behave in unintended ways! If you come across such behaviour, please open an issue/discussion thread.

Usage Guidelines

Jefer will eventually be available on a lot other platforms like Homebrew, FlatHub & more but for now it's only available through PyPi. If you want Jefer to be available on more platforms, then please refer to the docs on "_Distribution & Release Guidelines" section before opening a discussion thread and/or a pull request.

That said, here's how you can install Jefer right now:

pipx install jefer

For those of you who're not aware, pipx is the recommended way to install Python-based CLI tools.
