Thanks all for the feedback! @anishathalye Please let me know if you see anything that needs adjusting. I'm happy to make changes. Thanks for your work on dotbot, and for...

Re goals: I would ditch the VM requirement and just run the tests using pyfakefs to mock out filesystem isolation. Re old Python versions: there's no reason to rip out...

I'm making good progress, though CPython/PyPy compatibility with Windows and symlinks is poor until recent CPython versions: * Python 2.7 doesn't even have an `os.symlink()` function. * PyPy 2 and...

Thanks! I agree that dotbot should only support Python 3.8+ on Windows. Technically users could still run dotbot as admins and expect basic link configurations to work (like `~/.git -->...

Current status: ✔ All bash-based tests have been migrated to Python. ✔ Tests are passing on Windows (locally and on CI), including isort and black linters. ✔ As a bonus,...

Thanks for your work on PR #302!
