The primary use case for most Dotbot users involves reinstalling their environment easily and pain-free in scenarios such as:
1. Replacing a broken work laptop or getting a new device.
2. Updating periodically after making changes to their environment
Typically, onboarding at a business involves receiving a laptop and being instructed to install necessary software, often leading to context switching and frustration.
Issue:
The README lacks clear instructions for users aiming to reinstall their environment after a period of time. While this is briefly mentioned:
Dotbot makes installing your dotfiles as easy as git clone $url && cd dotfiles && ./install, even on a freshly installed system!
This crucial information would benefit from its own dedicated section.
Suggestion:
Add a new heading and section to the README specifically addressing reinstallation scenarios, detailing steps for users to follow when setting up Dotbot on a new or freshly reset device.
