Dotfiles Management
I didn't discover Chezmoi until seeing this thread (sigh). I developed a tool, [filetailor](https://github.com/k4j8/filetailor), with an almost identical goal (dotfile management while accounting for differences across machines). It uses Python and YAML, but from what I can tell is similar in concept to Chezmoi.
One thing I like about filetailor I didn't see in Chezmoi was the ability to surround code with a comment specifying which machines it should be commented/uncommented for. It's easier than templates in some situations.
It works great, but there's probably tons of bugs that occur when used by someone other than me. I don't have a CS background and this was my first big hobby project.

Dotfiles Management
I was unhappy with existing solutions, especially I wanted the ability to handle differences between machines. So I built my own! You're welcome to see if you like it :)

Managing your Dotfiles with Dotter (Tutorial)
I'm glad you asked! There are plenty of dotfiles managers out there, like chezmoi, Dotbot, or yadm (you can see a list here and a comparison table (from chezmoi, thus biased) here. But for this tutorial (and my dotfiles), I chose dotter.

Is it possible to have per-device .add spellcheck files, or some other, non git conflicting solution?
Or you could use the greatest bestest dotfile manager ever invented by yours truly - Dotter! It is designed to allow for per-machine configuration exactly like this :)
