=== Background
=========
I was a person who often changing window manager and even the distro.
That's the reason for the need of a dotfile manager. I've used stow,
but doesn't fit with my use case. I don't like symlinking folder or 
files, I prefer copy-paste system. That's when this program first
written.
The code is inspired by my previous dotfile manager, DotMan. 
But it had too many bugs, so i abandoned it. And now i'm recreating
the dotfile manager, implented in bash.
