Dotly is a modular, opinionated dotfiles framework built on top of the fast zim zsh framework. It provides a structured way to manage, install, and restore shell configurations and scripts across macOS, Linux, and WSL.

Use cases

  • manage my zsh dotfiles across machines
  • bootstrap a new mac with my shell config
  • restore dotfiles from a git repository
  • customize my terminal setup quickly
  • sync shell scripts and configs between computers
  • set up dotfiles on linux or wsl

When to choose

  • you want an opinionated, modular zsh-based dotfiles structure
  • you need fast shell startup via the zim framework
  • you want scripted install and restore of dotfiles from git

When to avoid

  • you prefer minimal, hand-rolled dotfiles without a framework
  • you use fish or another non-zsh shell as your primary shell
  • you need a GUI-based configuration manager
