Description
### Description
Firstly, thank you for this excellent project!
Feature request: many people who care about their computers customize their dotfiles, and many of these use a [dotfile manager](https://dotfiles.github.io/utilities/), of which there are many. It would be fantastic if fastfetch could add a module showing the user's dotfile manager, if they are using one.
Detection is fast, it is sufficient to check for the presence of files or directories in the user's home directory. For example:
* If `~/.git` exists, then they're probably using a [bare git repository](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles).
* If `~/.config/yadm` exists, then they're probably using [yadm](https://yadm.io).
* If `~/.local/share/chezmoi` exists, then they're probably using [chezmoi](https://chezmoi.io).
* etc.
Would you consider such a module? I would be happy to submit a PR that adds such a feature and supports [popular dotfile managers](https://dotfiles.github.io/utilities/).
### Motivation
Dotfile managers are so widely used that this should be part of the standard fastfetch output.
