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

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

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

Every one of these keeps all credential files out. None of them splits signingkey and signingkey for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
