excerpt: '

When you live in a command line, configurations are a deeply personal thing.
They are often crafted over years of experience, battles lost, lessons learned,
advice followed, and ingenuity rewarded. When you are away from your own
configurations, you are an orphaned refugee in unfamiliar and hostile
surroundings. You feel clumsy and out of sorts. You are filled with a sense of
longing to be back in a place you know. A place you built. A place where all the
short-cuts have been worn bare by your own travels. A place you proudly call...
**$HOME**.

        If you know how to use Git, you already know how to use yadm.
        yadm helps you maintain a single repository of dotfiles, while keeping
        them where they belong---in `$HOME`.
        Anything you can do with Git, you can do using yadm.

        Sometimes you need different configurations on different systems.
        yadm makes it possible to use alternate versions of files based on
        the OS or hostname of the system.
        Templates allow you to use alternate sections within files.

        Configurations occasionally include secrets such as passwords,
        encryption keys, or other sensitive information. yadm allows you to
        add such files to an encrypted archive, which can be maintained
        alongside your other configurations.
