What Hacker News says
2 sourcesShow HN: Infat – Declaritive application assocation manager for macOS
Bello! Made this to help navigate the tumultuous process of navigating to a new machine on Mac when you have a number of custom utilities setup for editing particular files. This is designed to make that as easy as possible, and add some magic on top of that, like setting mailto handlers or anything else of that breed. Use XDG_CONFIG_HOME to keep it organized.
Credit to https://github.com/moretension/duti for the original inspiration for the project.
Happy to answer and help with whatever.
