Sync that thing please!

This project is an attempt to build an useful system backup tool for my computers (not intended for servers).

I hate that in every computer I've a different .zshrc file, a different set of packages, different configurations, and i wanted to make it consistent across computers, with something that manages to solve the current differences I've across computers.

I could've made a bunch of bash scripts to solve this? yeah, but wanted to keep practicing my Rust so it doesn't get... rusty
