It backs up lists of packages installed from most popular package managers, backs up whatever dotfiles you want (since the config file is user editable), and some configs (this is the only place it's limited right now.) I'm working on adding arbitrary path backing up, which would make it possible for you to back up whatever you want. I just finished up git integration, and the next big step for this project is expanding the scope of what can be backed up.
One cool thing is that it's open source, so if it's not backing up something that you think it should be, you can just write the code and open a PR!

I wrote a backup tool to automate both back up and reinstallation of dotfiles, packages and config files: github.com/alichtman/shallow-backup
Hi, it sounds great. But it seems to be limited to a list of pre-configured apps, right ?
