Mackup: Keep your application settings in sync (OS X/Linux)

Mackup is a tool designed to synchronize application settings across different workstations, making it ideal for users who frequently switch devices or reinstall operating systems. It allows for easy backup and restoration of application settings. Installation can be done via Homebrew on macOS or using pip. To back up settings, users execute the command `mackup backup`, and to restore them on a new machine, the command is `mackup restore`. Mackup supports backing up settings to various storage services, including Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud, as well as any service that can sync a folder. It is compatible with over 200 applications, including popular ones like 1Password, Adobe Photoshop, and Visual Studio Code. Users can also personalize the tool by adding support for additional applications through a designated directory. Mackup is supported on macOS and GNU/Linux, but some storages, such as Box, are not supported due to limitations with dotfiles. The tool also includes an uninstall feature that reverts all files to their original state. For more detailed instructions, users can refer to the Mackup documentation available on its GitHub repository. Overall, Mackup is beneficial for maintaining a consistent working environment across multiple devices without the need for manual configuration of each application.
