Work in progress
Twist is a dotfile manager for Linux and macOS, inspired by Dotdrop. The goal of Twist is to make dotfiles management easier and more fun. Twist is written in Rust, so no additional runtime dependencies are required.
Out of the box, Twist will create and manage a Git repository for your dotfiles.
The CLI was modeled after the Git CLI. All options are documented with --help.
