Want to add your dotfiles repository? That's great! Here's a list of things I take into consideration:

  • Suited for beginners/intermediates to get started easily
  • Maintenance
  • Documentation
  • Usage/traction (contributions, stars)

Tildr is a command-line tool (CLI) written in Rust (it is not merely a personal dotfiles repository) that manages files in the $HOME directory by moving them to a repository—which may or may not be Git-controlled—and projecting them back to their original locations via symbolic links (symlinks).

Ideal for beginners and intermediate users
A small, explicit command set (init, add, apply, status, doctor, restore, unlink), featuring dry-run support and a doctor command for health checks. One-line installation scripts for Linux/macOS, plus native RPM/DEB/AUR packages.
Also ships Nautilus and Dolphin context-menu integrations, so basic Tildr
actions are available right from the file manager, no terminal required.

Maintenance
Actively maintained, with regular releases and an up-to-date CHANGELOG, alongside GitHub Actions CI for build, release, and packaging processes.

Documentation
Dedicated documentation site (https://orbitbits.com/tildr/documentation/), man pages for every command, and a CONTRIBUTING.md file in the repository.

Usage/Adoption
Early stage—released about a month ago, so it does not yet have a significant number of stars or forks. Already packaged for Arch (AUR), with active RPM/DEB repositories and work underway for official submission to Fedora/EPEL and Debian.

Note: I am the project maintainer.
