.SH DESCRIPTION
Dotdrop makes the management of dotfiles between different hosts easy.
It allows you to store your dotfiles in Git and automagically deploy
different versions of the same file on different setups.
.PP
It also allows manage different sets of dotfiles. For example, you can have
a set of dotfiles for your home laptop and a different set for your office
desktop. Those sets may overlap, and different versions of the same dotfiles
can be deployed using different predefined profiles. Or you may have a main
set of dotfiles for your everyday host and a subset you only need to deploy
to temporary hosts (cloud VM etc.) that may be using a slightly different
version of some of the dotfiles.
