Show HN: Dotgh – CLI to manage AI-assistant config templates

openjny Tuesday, December 02, 2025

Hi HN,

I built dotgh, a CLI tool for managing AI coding assistant configuration files as reusable templates.

If you use GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar AI assistants, you've probably created files like `copilot-instructions.md`, `AGENTS.md`, or `.github/prompts/.prompt.md` many times across different projects.

dotgh lets you save these configs as templates and apply them to new projects with a single command:

  dotgh push my-golang-template   # Save current project's configs
  dotgh pull my-golang-template   # Apply to a new project
What it manages by default: - AGENTS.md - .github/copilot-instructions.md - .github/agents/.agent.md - .github/copilot-chat-modes/.chatmode.md - .github/instructions/.instructions.md - .github/prompts/*.prompt.md - .vscode/mcp.json - (customizable via config)

Written in Go, cross-platform (Linux/macOS/Windows), single binary with no dependencies.
