 **Git-native dotfiles management that doesn't suck.**
 
-Move your dotfiles to `~/.config/lnk`, symlink them back, and use Git like normal. That's it.
+Lnk makes managing your dotfiles straightforward, no tedious setups, no complex configurations. Just tell Lnk what files you want tracked, and it'll automatically move them into a tidy Git repository under `~/.config/lnk`. It then creates clean, portable symlinks back to their original locations. Easy.
+
+Why bother with Lnk instead of plain old Git or other dotfile managers? Unlike traditional methods, Lnk automates the boring parts: safely relocating files, handling host-specific setups, bulk operations for multiple files, recursive directory processing, and even running your custom bootstrap scripts automatically. This means fewer manual steps and less chance of accidentally overwriting something important.
+
+With Lnk, your dotfiles setup stays organized and effortlessly portable, letting you spend more time doing real work, not wrestling with configuration files.
 
 ```bash
-lnk init
-lnk add ~/.vimrc ~/.bashrc
+lnk init -r git@github.com:user/dotfiles.git    # Clones & runs bootstrap automatically
+lnk add ~/.vimrc ~/.bashrc ~/.gitconfig         # Multiple files at once
+lnk add --recursive ~/.config/nvim              # Process directory contents
+lnk add --dry-run ~/.tmux.conf                  # Preview changes first
+lnk add --host work ~/.ssh/config               # Host-specific config

+# Add multiple files at once (common config)
+lnk add ~/.vimrc ~/.bashrc ~/.gitconfig ~/.tmux.conf
+

 lnk push "updated vim config"
-lnk pull
+lnk pull                    # Pull common config
+lnk pull --host laptop      # Pull laptop-specific config
 ```
 
 ## How it works
 
 ```
+Common files:
 Before: ~/.vimrc (file)
 After:  ~/.vimrc -> ~/.config/lnk/.vimrc (symlink)
+
+Host-specific files:
+Before: ~/.ssh/config (file)
+After:  ~/.ssh/config -> ~/.config/lnk/laptop.lnk/.ssh/config (symlink)
 ```
 
-Your files live in `~/.config/lnk` (a Git repo). Lnk creates symlinks back to original locations. Edit files normally, use Git normally.
+Your files live in `~/.config/lnk` (a Git repo). Common files go in the root, host-specific files go in `<host>.lnk/` subdirectories. Lnk creates symlinks back to original locations. Edit files normally, use Git normally.
+
+## Safety Features
+
+Lnk includes built-in safety checks to prevent accidental data loss:
+
+### Data Loss Prevention
+
+```bash
+# This will be blocked if you already have managed files
+lnk init -r git@github.com:user/dotfiles.git
+# ❌ Directory ~/.config/lnk already contains managed files
+#    💡 Use 'lnk pull' to update from remote instead of 'lnk init -r'
+
+# Use pull instead to safely update
+lnk pull
+
+# Or force if you understand the risks (shows warning only when needed)
+lnk init -r git@github.com:user/dotfiles.git --force
+# ⚠️  Using --force flag: This will overwrite existing managed files
+#    💡 Only use this if you understand the risks
+```
+
+### Smart Warnings
+
+- **Contextual alerts**: Warnings only appear when there are actually managed files to overwrite
+- **Clear guidance**: Error messages suggest the correct command to use
+- **Force override**: Advanced users can bypass safety checks when needed
+
+## Bootstrap Support
+
+Lnk automatically runs bootstrap scripts when cloning dotfiles repositories, making it easy to set up your development environment. Just add a `bootstrap.sh` file to your dotfiles repo.
+
+### Examples
+
+**Simple bootstrap script:**
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# bootstrap.sh
+echo "Setting up development environment..."
+
+# Install Homebrew (macOS)
+if ! command -v brew &> /dev/null; then
+    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
+fi
+
+# Install packages
+brew install git vim tmux
+
+echo "✅ Setup complete!"
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+# Automatic bootstrap on clone
+lnk init -r git@github.com:you/dotfiles.git
+# → Clones repo and runs bootstrap script automatically
+
+# Skip bootstrap if needed
+lnk init -r git@github.com:you/dotfiles.git --no-bootstrap
+
+# Run bootstrap manually later
+lnk bootstrap
+```
+
+## Multihost Support
+
+Lnk supports both **common configurations** (shared across all machines) and **host-specific configurations** (unique per machine).
+
+### File Organization
+
+```
+~/.config/lnk/
+├── .lnk                    # Tracks common files
+├── .lnk.laptop             # Tracks laptop-specific files
+├── .lnk.work               # Tracks work-specific files
+├── .vimrc                  # Common file
+├── .gitconfig              # Common file
+├── laptop.lnk/             # Laptop-specific storage
+│   ├── .ssh/
+│   │   └── config
+│   └── .tmux.conf
+└── work.lnk/               # Work-specific storage
+    ├── .ssh/
+    │   └── config
+    └── .gitconfig
+```
+
+### Usage Patterns
+
+```bash
+# Common config (shared everywhere) - supports multiple files
+lnk add ~/.vimrc ~/.bashrc ~/.gitconfig ~/.tmux.conf
+
+# Process directory contents individually
+lnk add --recursive ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/zsh
+
+# Preview operations before making changes
+lnk add --dry-run ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
+lnk add --dry-run --recursive ~/.config/i3
+
+# Host-specific config (unique per machine) - supports bulk operations
+lnk add --host $(hostname) ~/.ssh/config ~/.aws/credentials
+lnk add --host work ~/.gitconfig ~/.npmrc
+
+# List configurations
+lnk list                    # Common only
+lnk list --host work        # Work host only
+lnk list --all              # Everything
+
+# Pull configurations
+lnk pull                    # Common config
+lnk pull --host work        # Work-specific config
+```
 
 ## Why not just Git?
 
 You could `git init ~/.config/lnk` and manually symlink everything. Lnk just automates the tedious parts:
 
-- Moving files safely
+- Moving files safely (with atomic operations)
 - Creating relative symlinks
-- Handling conflicts
+- Handling conflicts and rollback
 - Tracking what's managed
+- Processing multiple files efficiently
+- Recursive directory traversal
+- Preview mode for safety
 
 ## Examples
 
 ### First time setup
 
 ```bash
+# Clone dotfiles and run bootstrap automatically
 lnk init -r git@github.com:you/dotfiles.git
-lnk add ~/.bashrc ~/.vimrc ~/.gitconfig
+# → Downloads dependencies, installs packages, configures environment
+
+# Add common config (shared across all machines) - multiple files at once
+lnk add ~/.bashrc ~/.vimrc ~/.gitconfig ~/.tmux.conf
+
+# Add configuration directories individually
+lnk add --recursive ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/zsh
+
+# Preview before adding sensitive files
+lnk add --dry-run ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+lnk add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub  # Add after verification
+
+# Add host-specific config (supports bulk operations)
+lnk add --host $(hostname) ~/.ssh/config ~/.aws/credentials
+
 lnk push "initial setup"
 ```
 
 ### On a new machine
 
 ```bash
+# Bootstrap runs automatically
 lnk init -r git@github.com:you/dotfiles.git
-lnk pull  # auto-creates symlinks
+# → Sets up environment, installs dependencies
+
+# Pull common config
+lnk pull
+
+# Pull host-specific config (if it exists)
+lnk pull --host $(hostname)
+
+# Or run bootstrap manually if needed
+lnk bootstrap
 ```
 
 ### Daily edits
 
 ```bash
-vim ~/.vimrc           # edit normally
-lnk status             # check what changed
-lnk push "new plugins" # commit & push
+vim ~/.vimrc                    # edit normally
+lnk list                        # see common config
+lnk list --host $(hostname)     # see host-specific config
+lnk list --all                  # see everything
+lnk status                      # check what changed
+lnk push "new plugins"          # commit & push
+```
+
+### Multi-machine workflow
+
+```bash
+# On your laptop - use bulk operations for efficiency
+lnk add --host laptop ~/.ssh/config ~/.aws/credentials ~/.npmrc
+lnk add ~/.vimrc ~/.bashrc ~/.gitconfig    # Common config (multiple files)
+lnk push "laptop configuration"
+
+# On your work machine
+lnk pull                                   # Get common config
+lnk add --host work ~/.gitconfig ~/.ssh/config
+lnk add --recursive ~/.config/work-tools  # Work-specific tools
+lnk push "work configuration"
+
+# Back on laptop
+lnk pull                                   # Get updates (work config won't affect laptop)
 ```
 
 ## Commands
 
-- `lnk init [-r remote]` - Create repo
-- `lnk add <files>` - Move files to repo, create symlinks
-- `lnk rm <files>` - Move files back, remove symlinks
+- `lnk init [-r remote] [--no-bootstrap] [--force]` - Create repo (runs bootstrap automatically)
+- `lnk add [--host HOST] [--recursive] [--dry-run] <files>...` - Move files to repo, create symlinks
+- `lnk rm [--host HOST] <files>` - Move files back, remove symlinks
+- `lnk list [--host HOST] [--all]` - List files managed by lnk
 - `lnk status` - Git status + sync info
 - `lnk push [msg]` - Stage all, commit, push
-- `lnk pull` - Pull + restore missing symlinks
+- `lnk pull [--host HOST]` - Pull + restore missing symlinks
+- `lnk bootstrap` - Run bootstrap script manually
+
+### Command Options
+
+- `--host HOST` - Manage files for specific host (default: common configuration)
+- `--recursive, -r` - Add directory contents individually instead of the directory as a whole
+- `--dry-run, -n` - Show what would be added without making changes
+- `--all` - Show all configurations (common + all hosts) when listing
+- `-r, --remote URL` - Clone from remote URL when initializing
+- `--no-bootstrap` - Skip automatic execution of bootstrap script after cloning
+- `--force` - Force initialization even if directory contains managed files (WARNING: overwrites existing content)
+
+### Output Formatting
+
+Lnk provides flexible output formatting options to suit different environments and preferences:
+
+#### Color Output
+
+Control when ANSI colors are used in output:
+
+```bash
+# Default: auto-detect based on TTY
+lnk init
+
+# Force colors regardless of environment
+lnk init --colors=always
+
+# Disable colors completely
+lnk init --colors=never
+
+# Environment variable support
+NO_COLOR=1 lnk init  # Disables colors (acts like --colors=never)
+```
+
+**Color modes:**
+
+- `auto` (default): Use colors only when stdout is a TTY
+- `always`: Force color output regardless of TTY
+- `never`: Disable color output regardless of TTY
+
+The `NO_COLOR` environment variable acts like `--colors=never` when set, but explicit `--colors` flags take precedence.
+
+#### Emoji Output
+
+Control emoji usage in output messages:
+
+```bash
+# Default: emojis enabled
+lnk init
+
+# Disable emojis
+lnk init --no-emoji
+
+# Explicitly enable emojis
+lnk init --emoji
+```
+
+**Emoji flags:**
+
+- `--emoji` (default: true): Enable emoji in output
+- `--no-emoji`: Disable emoji in output
+
+The `--emoji` and `--no-emoji` flags are mutually exclusive.
+
+#### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Clean output for scripts/pipes
+lnk init --colors=never --no-emoji
+
+# Force colorful output in non-TTY environments
+lnk init --colors=always
+
+# Disable colors but keep emojis
+lnk init --colors=never
+
+# Disable emojis but keep colors
+lnk init --no-emoji
+```
+
+### Add Command Examples
+
+```bash
+# Multiple files at once
+lnk add ~/.bashrc ~/.vimrc ~/.gitconfig
+
+# Recursive directory processing
+lnk add --recursive ~/.config/nvim
+
+# Preview changes first
+lnk add --dry-run ~/.ssh/config
+lnk add --dry-run --recursive ~/.config/kitty
+
+# Host-specific bulk operations
+lnk add --host work ~/.gitconfig ~/.ssh/config ~/.npmrc
+```
 
 ## Technical bits
 
 - **Single binary** (~8MB, no deps)
-- **Atomic operations** (rollback on failure)
 - **Relative symlinks** (portable)
 - **XDG compliant** (`~/.config/lnk`)
-- **20 integration tests**
+- **Multihost support** (common + host-specific configs)
+- **Bootstrap support** (automatic environment setup)
+- **Bulk operations** (multiple files, atomic transactions)
+- **Recursive processing** (directory contents individually)
+- **Preview mode** (dry-run for safety)
+- **Data loss prevention** (safety checks with contextual warnings)
+- **Git-native** (standard Git repo, no special formats)

-**Q: What if I already have dotfiles in Git?**  
-A: `git clone your-repo ~/.config/lnk && lnk add ~/.vimrc` (adopts existing files)
-
-**Q: How do I handle machine-specific configs?**  
-A: Git branches, or just don't manage machine-specific files with lnk
-
-**Q: Windows support?**  
-A: Symlinks work on Windows 10+, but untested
-
-**Q: Production ready?**  
-A: I use it daily. It won't break your files. API might change (pre-1.0).

-# Release Process
-
-This document describes how to create releases for the lnk project using GoReleaser.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Push access to the main repository
-- Git tags pushed to GitHub trigger releases automatically
-- GoReleaser is configured in `.goreleaser.yml`
-- GitHub Actions will handle the release process
-- Access to the [homebrew-lnk](https://github.com/yarlson/homebrew-lnk) tap repository
-- **Personal Access Token** set up as `HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN` secret (see Setup section)
-
-## Setup (One-time)
-
-### GitHub Personal Access Token
-
-For GoReleaser to update the Homebrew formula, you need a Personal Access Token:
-
-1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic)
-2. Click "Generate new token" → "Generate new token (classic)"
-3. Name: "GoReleaser Homebrew Access"
-4. Scopes: Select `repo` (Full control of private repositories)
-5. Generate and copy the token
-6. In your `yarlson/lnk` repository:
-   - Go to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
-   - Add new repository secret: `HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN`
-   - Paste the token as the value
-
-This allows GoReleaser to automatically update the Homebrew formula in [homebrew-lnk](https://github.com/yarlson/homebrew-lnk).
-
-## Creating a Release
-
-### 1. Ensure everything is ready
-
-```bash
-# Run all quality checks
-make check
-
-# Test GoReleaser configuration
-make goreleaser-check
-
-# Test build process
-make goreleaser-snapshot
-```
-
-### 2. Create and push a version tag
-
-```bash
-# Create a new tag (replace x.y.z with actual version)
-git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release v1.0.0"
-
-# Push the tag to trigger the release
-git push origin v1.0.0
-```
-
-### 3. Monitor the release
-
-- GitHub Actions will automatically build and release when the tag is pushed
-- Check the [Actions tab](https://github.com/yarlson/lnk/actions) for build status
-- The release will appear in [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/yarlson/lnk/releases)
-- The Homebrew formula will be automatically updated in [homebrew-lnk](https://github.com/yarlson/homebrew-lnk)
-
-## What GoReleaser Does
-
-1. **Builds binaries** for multiple platforms:
-
-   - Linux (amd64, arm64)
-   - macOS (amd64, arm64)
-   - Windows (amd64)
-
-2. **Creates archives** with consistent naming:
-
-   - `lnk_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz`
-   - `lnk_Darwin_arm64.tar.gz`
-   - etc.
-
-3. **Generates checksums** for verification
-
-4. **Creates GitHub release** with:
-
-   - Automatic changelog from conventional commits
-   - Installation instructions
-   - Download links for all platforms
-
-5. **Updates Homebrew formula** automatically in the [homebrew-lnk](https://github.com/yarlson/homebrew-lnk) tap
-
-## Manual Release (if needed)
-
-If you need to create a release manually:
-
-```bash
-# Export GitHub token
-export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_token_here"
-
-# Create release (requires a git tag)
-goreleaser release --clean
-```
-
-## Testing Releases Locally
-
-```bash
-# Test the build process without releasing
-make goreleaser-snapshot
-
-# Built artifacts will be in dist/
-ls -la dist/
-
-# Test a binary
-./dist/lnk_<platform>/lnk --version
-```
-
-## Installation Methods
-
-After a release is published, users can install lnk using multiple methods:
-
-### 1. Shell Script (Recommended)
-
-```bash
-curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yarlson/lnk/main/install.sh | bash
-```
-
-### 2. Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
-
-```bash
-brew tap yarlson/lnk
-brew install lnk
-```
-
-### 3. Manual Download
-
-```bash
-# Download from GitHub releases
-wget https://github.com/yarlson/lnk/releases/latest/download/lnk_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
-tar -xzf lnk_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
-sudo mv lnk /usr/local/bin/
-```
-
-## Version Numbering
-
-We use [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):
-
-- `v1.0.0` - Major release (breaking changes)
-- `v1.1.0` - Minor release (new features, backward compatible)
-- `v1.1.1` - Patch release (bug fixes)
-
-## Changelog
-
-GoReleaser automatically generates changelogs from git commits using conventional commit format:
-
-- `feat:` - New features
-- `fix:` - Bug fixes
-- `docs:` - Documentation changes (excluded from changelog)
-- `test:` - Test changes (excluded from changelog)
-- `ci:` - CI changes (excluded from changelog)
-
-## Homebrew Tap
-
-The Homebrew formula is automatically maintained in the [homebrew-lnk](https://github.com/yarlson/homebrew-lnk) repository. When a new release is created:
-
-1. GoReleaser automatically creates/updates the formula
-2. The formula is committed to the tap repository
-3. Users can immediately install the new version via `brew install yarlson/lnk/lnk`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Release failed to create
-
-1. Check that the tag follows the format `vX.Y.Z`
-2. Ensure GitHub Actions has proper permissions
-3. Check the Actions log for detailed error messages
-
-### Missing binaries in release
-
-1. Verify GoReleaser configuration: `make goreleaser-check`
-2. Test build locally: `make goreleaser-snapshot`
-3. Check the build matrix in `.goreleaser.yml`
-
-### Changelog is empty
-
-1. Ensure commits follow conventional commit format
-2. Check that there are commits since the last tag
-3. Verify changelog configuration in `.goreleaser.yml`
-
-### Homebrew formula not updated
-
-1. Check that the GITHUB_TOKEN has access to the homebrew-lnk repository
-2. Verify the repository name and owner in `.goreleaser.yml`
-3. Check the release workflow logs for Homebrew-related errors
-4. Ensure the homebrew-lnk repository exists and is accessible
