Description

Firstly, thank you for this excellent project!

Feature request: many people who care about their computers customize their dotfiles, and many of these use a dotfile manager, of which there are many. It would be fantastic if fastfetch could add a module showing the user's dotfile manager, if they are using one.

Detection is fast, it is sufficient to check for the presence of files or directories in the user's home directory. For example:

  • If ~/.git exists, then they're probably using a bare git repository.
  • If ~/.config/yadm exists, then they're probably using yadm.
  • If ~/.local/share/chezmoi exists, then they're probably using chezmoi.
  • etc.

Would you consider such a module? I would be happy to submit a PR that adds such a feature and supports popular dotfile managers.

Motivation

Dotfile managers are so widely used that this should be part of the standard fastfetch output.
