Otty splits these out before upload and puts each machine’s own back on the way down — no templates to write. The lines above come from this tool’s test fixture in the catalog.

Excluded2 paths, state rather than configuration — never uploaded

[xdgCache]/act/directory

[xdgCache]/actcache/directory

Not a subtraction from the paths above: this is everything else act writes in your home directory that is state, not configuration. It keeps a whole-home manager like chezmoi from sweeping those up, and it still holds if the synced paths are ever widened.

· ~/.cache/act/ Exclude

· ~/.cache/actcache/ Exclude

Only what the catalog names. A directory that syncs brings everything inside it except what is listed as excluded here.

Same data, in the shape your tool already reads

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/act. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page. None of them splits --container-daemon-socket and --artifact-server-path for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
