codesectionsWhat do y'all use to manage/backup your dotfiles? Why'd ya pick it?
I've been meaning to set something up, but I keep falling into choice-paralysis and putting it off.
Leading contenders include:
YADM (bash) https://thelocehiliosan.github.io/yadm/
dot (rust) https://github.com/ubnt-intrepid/dot
GNU Stow (perl) https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/
doing it manually with shell aliases: https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/02/best-way-to-store-dotfiles-git-bare-repo/
chezmoi: (go) https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi
Currently leaning towards chezmoi (because most features) or YADM (because pure bash)
Yet Another Dotfiles Manager
When you live in a command line, configurations are a deeply personal thing. They are often crafted over years of experience, battles lost, lessons learned, advice followed, and ingenuity rewarded. When you are away from your own configurations, you are an orphaned refugee in unfamiliar and hostile surroundings. You feel clumsy and out of sorts. You are filled with a sense of longing to be back in a place you know. A place you built. A place where all the short-cuts have been worn bare by your own travels. A place you proudly call… $HOME.
