aperçu
Tool that bootstraps your dotfiles
historique
Dotbot is a lightweight dotfiles bootstrapper that lets a dotfiles repository install itself with a small YAML or JSON task list. Its identity is intentionally narrow: version control stores the files, and Dotbot links, creates, cleans, and runs shell commands.
The README explains the name as a dotfiles bootstrapper and emphasizes a deliberately minimal design: self-contained, no external dependencies, no required installation, and VCS-agnostic operation. Users can vendor it as a Git submodule or subrepo, or install it as a standalone command-line program.
Public GitHub release metadata shows active tagged releases through the 2020s, including the v1.22-v1.24 series in 2025.
Dotbot spread through personal dotfiles repositories because it fits the common bootstrap pattern: clone a dotfiles repo, enter it, and run ./install on a fresh machine. The README also notes package availability through Homebrew and Arch Linux, while source facts list Homebrew and Nix.
A plugin ecosystem grew around the core, including plugins for secrets management, package managers, OS/application configuration, and other setup tasks.
A typical Dotbot setup keeps install.conf.yaml or install.conf.json in the dotfiles repository and runs tasks such as linking files into the home directory, creating directories, cleaning broken symlinks, and executing shell commands.
The project is useful when users want a small, repeatable bootstrap without adopting a full configuration-management system.
Dotbot is package-nerd significant because it captures the Git-submodule era of dotfiles tooling: tiny tool, vendored into the repo, runnable on a fresh system, and intentionally not a full manager for the dotfiles themselves.
For Homebrew users, packaging Dotbot as a CLI offers the same workflow without vendoring, using dotbot -c to point at a configuration file.
