what is the closest you can get to do "dotfiles" on android?
i know the way android stores application config and so on makes it almost imposible to keep a real functioning dotfiles. but what is the closest you can get? is there a way to at least get a declarative list of apps to install or something? maybe some f-droid config at least or something?

dotfiles are just text files with a . as the first character there isn’t anything inherently magic about them other than many file browsers hiding them by default. What functionally are you looking for with them? Configuration and secure tokens?

The closest you could actually get is to set up your own MDM system that provisioned your device from a configuration upstream
