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 also track my dotfiles in a Git repo, but I only track my home directory. Made a tool to help out with some of the more arcane commands: https://github.com/tubbo/homer. I'm currently rewriting it in Rust, which is mostly done but I still have to work out a couple kinks on Linux machines . So far, I haven't needed to mess with too many top-level configs on each machine, most of the stuff I do is relatively contained (and uses the XDG standards thankfully). It got a little hairy when I tried to configure certain file paths on both a Linux and macOS environment, as there are different default conventions and other nuances that make the two not fully compatible at times. But it definitely saves a lot of time when setting up a new machine from scratch, `homer bootstrap $REPO_URL` does all the hard work and gets my home directory loaded up with configuration the way I'd expect.
What are some alternatives?
