The Putter tool is a Rust implementation of the file management component of Home Manager. It takes a JSON manifest that indicates how files should be symlinked and when the manifest is applied, does its best to ensure that the file system reflect the manifest. Putter offers some additional features that Home Manager does not expose today, such as file copying (potentially recursive) and support for overriding files within a recursive tree (e.g., inside a symlinked tree one could ensure that a specific file is copies with specific permissions). This is considered highly experimental at the moment and to use Putter one must set a hidden option.
