Archived project. No maintenance.

What does this mean? No further code will be committed and the repository will remain in a read-only state. Releases will still be available for download. Any existing projects that use Bonclay will continue to work.

Current status: Bonclay is stable (as far as I know).

Why? I no longer use Bonclay personally, I've switched to using chezmoi for dotfiles and Vorta for backups.

Bonclay uses a yaml file that has source:target pairs to backup, restore, or sync the specified files/directories.
