Show HN: A cross-platform, modular dotfiles installer for my personal setup

This is my personal dotfiles installer.<p>It was started as a simple script that run `brew bundle` on `Brewfile` to install packages on MacOS. And over time, it evolved into grep + xargs on custom comments to support installation through Aptitude &#x2F; APK &#x2F; etc. as my usage vary across multiple OSes.<p>I find myself constantly either in need of reinstalling the whole OS or setup my environment a lot. Especially on my Raspberry Pi, since I love my portable development platform in which combined iPad Pro and Raspberry Pi. Hence I need to make the setup flexible and with various options to better reduce the time I spent manually install stuffs.<p>Do note that some functionalities might not be implemented (should be in the Issues section as of now). But the essentials core functionalities for my day to day work are pretty much stable. There is only current version that I&#x27;m using and working on at all time, with some branches to try out some ideas. So please be sure to poke around before running anything, as by default it would just simply perform the installation with no confirmation.<p>Please, feel free to give some feedbacks or take something from it if you find it useful. Much appreciated.<p>----<p>As per requested here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29536296" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29536296</a> Originally commented on: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29535432" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29535432</a>
