One line. No dependencies beyond git (and age for the optional vault).

Dots keeps your configs in a plain git repo — no symlinks, no runtime, no lock-in. Track a file and Dots copies it into the repo (preserving file and directory permissions); deploy it and Dots copies it back to the right place on any machine.

dots add ~/.vimrc   # track it in the repo
dots                # open a shell in the repo
git commit -am "feat: add vimrc"

• Just git — plain files in a repo. No symlinks, no database, no daemon.
• At-a-glance status — dots status shows a compact, git-style overview: in sync, changed, or missing.
• Permission-aware — file and directory modes are captured and restored, so things like ~/.ssh come back exactly as they were.
• Encrypted vault — keep secrets under age with encrypt / decrypt, shareable with a team via a recipients file.
• Machine profiles — vary or skip a file per machine with a profile suffix.
