Lnk – Git-native dotfiles manager

In plain words

Lnk is a dotfiles manager that stores configuration files in ~/.config/lnk and creates symlinks back to their original locations. It works as a single binary with no configuration files required, allowing users to manage dotfiles with Git directly. Built as a simpler alternative to more complex tools, Lnk is designed for developers who want straightforward dotfile management without extra overhead.

Git-native dotfiles manager. No config files, no templates, no ceremony. Track dotfiles across machines with one command. Lnk moves files into a Git repo (defaults to ~/.config/lnk ; override with LNK_HOME or XDG_CONFIG_HOME ), symlinks them back, and stays out of your way. lnk init -r [email protected]:you/dotfiles.git # clone & bootstrap lnk pull # restore symlinks lnk add ~ /.vimrc ~ /.bashrc ~ /.gitconfig # track files lnk add --host work ~ /.ssh/config # per-machine config lnk push " done " # commit & push Install curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yarlson/lnk/main/install.sh | bash Or with Homebrew: go install github.com/yarlson/lnk@latest How it works Before: ~/.vimrc (regular…from github.com

  We scaled Git to support 1 TB repos2022 · xethub.com · ▲279

  I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…

  Dump entire Git repos into a single file for LLM prompts2024 · ▲57

  Hey! I wanted to share a tool I've been working on. It's still very early and a work in progress, but I've found it incredibly helpful when working with Claude and OpenAI's models. What it does: I created a Python script that dumps your entire Git repository into a single file. This makes it much easier to use with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Key Features: - Respects .gitignore patterns - Generates a tree-like directory structure - Includes file contents for all non-excluded files - Customizable file type filtering Why I find it useful for…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
