    There's also `homesick`[1], which is a Ruby dotfile manager. If you don't feel like managing a Ruby distro and want something more portable (and `homesick` looks to be a stale project anyway), you can use `homeshick`[2] which is a Bash port that's still being maintained. (I use `homeshick`)

    The last time I dug into this, `homeshick` was had more features and fit my needs better than `stow`.

    Alternatively, check out YADM[3], "Yet Another Dotfile Manager", which I'm probably switching to once I get some time.

    Shameless self-plug: I could never get along with storing the whole content of the dotfiles when I casually just added a few lines I cared about, so I developed my own tool called confible. You can specify to just append a few lines or add the whole config and it can run commands (e.g. installing the specific tool together with its config). You can find it at https://github.com/sj14/confible
