Dotfiles Management
You can use chezmoi to manage files outside your home directory if you really want to.
For an example, see https://github.com/felipecrs/dotfiles:
The `home` directory contains home directory files.
The `root` directory contains root directory files (e.g `/etc`).

Running Docker on WSL2 the right way
For example, in my dotfiles, every single of these steps are automated, including configuring /etc/docker/daemon.json, changing ~/.profile, and even providing a way to automatically update your extra binaries (docker-compose, or the wincred.exe) every time you update your dotfiles (by using a feature of chezmoi - a dotfiles manager which I totally recommend).

Ask HN: Did macOS Sonoma break your iCloud setup?

I've always had sync issues with iCloud Drive when storing developer projects and related things there. It ends up stuck or confused or conflicted but tries to resolve the merge conflicts opaquely and it's hard to know there's a problem in real time vs until later when you find something broken. I keep all dev things out of iCloud after getting burned by this enough times over the years.
To OP: Consider a repo dotfiles setup like using Chezmoi or similar. Transitioning to it was less friction than I expected and the only downside really is having to remember to commit changes across devices.

Russ Cox: Go Testing by Example
chezmoi (<https://chezmoi.io> or <https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi>) has a couple dozen txtar tests. They are both amazing and completely frustrating to use, but I don't think that there would be a better way to test most of what chezmoi does without them.
Tom Payne (the creator and primary developer of chezmoi) has added some extra commands to the txtar context which makes things easier for certain classes of testing.

I want to mess around with my config files. What is the best way for me to be able to go back and forth between my normal config and my test config?
I’ve been using chezmoi, which uses git, to manage my dot files and have different branches for these types of experiments.
