How do you manage your dotfiles?
I manage my own dotfiles with gnu stow and git. This combination works on any system and is pretty minimalist.

Rotz: Cross platform dotfile manager written in Rust
Are your per-machine branches mostly distinct, or do they share a lot?
I use https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm and I find my dotfiles share _quite a bit_ in some respects (e.g. neovim config) but are drastically different in others (SSH config as one example) -- keeping things synced _across_ branches sounds very difficult. rcm handles this well, without branches, IMO.

Guide me through!
I use thoughtbot/rcm to handle my github dotfiles. Super short version after installing, mkdir ~/.dotfiles Then go through your home directory (ie. ~/ ) and mkrc .bashrc and then do the same for any other files you plan on tweaking or have custom settings for. Most of these with be in ~/.config/ but some will be in ~/ . (ie. mkrc ~/.bashrc for your bash settings and aliases)

Dotfiles Management
Personally I like (and use) rcm. Everything is still in a git repository, but has more features that work well for sharing across multiple machines.

Ask HN: What are you using to organize dotfiles / dotconfig files?
I use rcm. It assumes you keep a separate (potentially version-controlled) folder at ~/.dotfiles or similar, and it provides a suite of tools for managing the symlinks.

Thoughts on chezmoi
currently I am managing my dotfiles with rcm (ran by ansible). This approach served me well over the years but recently I stumpled over chezmoi.
