Omarchy is a directory structure orchestrator that automates the provisioning and maintenance of file system hierarchies. By utilizing declarative configuration files, it allows users to define a desired workspace layout that serves as a single source of truth, ensuring that local development environments remain consistent and reproducible across distributed teams.
The tool functions as an infrastructure-as-code utility for local environments, employing idempotent reconciliation to compare the current file system state against the defined configuration. It automatically applies only the necessary changes to align the workspace with the target state, effectively managing complex, nested directory trees through a recursive traversal engine.
Beyond basic directory management, the system provides a platform-agnostic abstraction layer that enables standardized environment setup across different host operating systems. This approach supports the synchronization of workspace layouts and the automated configuration of necessary tools, facilitating uniform development standards regardless of the underlying hardware.
