Managing my dot files: Git bare or Stow ?
I'm pretty happy with vcsh. I've used a lot of options over the years, and this is the only one I've never been motivated to replace.

GitHub Does Dotfiles
weirdly, nobody mentioned vcsh[1] yet. it's a git-based tool that gives all git goodies. I use it and a couple of bash micro scripts to pull/push the latest changes upon logging in/out into shell (again bash, but seeking for POSIX or fish-based version)

Git ignores .gitignore with .gitignore in .gitignore
I feel obligated to point out vcsh [1], which is likely already packaged for your operating system.
[1] https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh
The main selling point is that you can set up various git repos for different things. I have one for SSH keys (and no, that does not get pushed anywhere except to my own private server), VIM, neovim, bash, and 'other' (for misc config files like .dir_colors, .gitconfig, etc.).

How do you manage your dotfiles?
I'm using vcsh which is basically a small wrapper around git. The resulting repository is this in my case.

.dotfiles - macOS dotfiles
bashdot - Minimalist dotfile management framework.
