  "github_readme_excerpt": "# What is Dotter?\nDotter is a dotfile manager and templater.\n\nDotfiles are *configuration* files that usually live in the home directory and start with a dot.\nOften times, it is desirable to have a backup of all the configurations on your system, which is why a lot of users have their dotfiles saved in a git repository, then symlinking them to their target locations using `ln -s`.\n\nHowever, there are several issues with that barebones approach:\n- Hard to keep track of what comes from where once you have more than a handful of dotfiles\n- Tedious to setup on a new machine - you need to manually create every single link\n- No real way to handle differences between machines - say you want the battery meter on your bar to not appear on your desktop machine\n\nDotter aims to solve all those problems by providing a flexible configuration and automatic templating or symlinking to the target locations.\n\n# Installation\n## Mac (Homebrew)\nDotter is available on homebrew using `brew install dotter`\n\n## Arch Linux\nThe following AUR packages are available:\n- [dotter-rs-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dotter-rs-bin) for a precompiled version of the latest release\n- [dotter-rs](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dotter-rs) for the latest release\u0027s source that is built on your machine\n- [dotter-rs-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dotter-rs-git) for the latest commit on master that is built on your machine\n\nAll of those are maintained by [orhun](https://github.com/orhun/) - huge thanks to him!\n\n## Windows\nDotter is available on [Scoop](https://scoop.sh). Run `scoop install dotter` to install the latest release.\n\n## Others\n\nDownload the binary for your platform from the latest release and then put it in your `$PATH` or in your dotfile repository (then you\u0027d run it with `./dotter`).\nAlternatively, Dotter is on [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/dotter), so if you have Rustup installed, run `cargo install dotter`.\n\n# Wiki\nCheck out [the wiki](https://github.com/SuperCuber/d",
