Unecessary #147

Hey, i'm using dotter across multiple machines/os/distros so like the idea of global + individual toml files, however I am having trouble understanding the use of local.toml. What would the difference be between the following two setups?

  1. having a local.toml + ubuntu.toml that defines all the unique symlinks

local.toml

includes = [".dotter/ubuntu.toml"]
  1. having no local.toml and running dotter deploy -l ubuntu.toml

In case 2, i would check in my global.toml + ubuntu.toml to git, and not have to worry about creating a local.toml on a new machine, unless necessary, upon which only then would i create a local.toml and include it in the ubuntu.toml file.

Cheers, love the package :)

This is one of the possible use cases. To make this easier, the option to use hostname-based local.toml was added a while ago. I didn't add it to wiki until now, check out the freshly written section here
