Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
+1 for nix and home-manager - I recently switched to this setup (still learning/experimenting a lot, link here [0]) and have been very happy!

Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
I've been using bashdot(https://github.com/bashdot/bashdot) does exactly this. It's a simple bash script that sets up symlinks for a given directory. It can also switch symlinks to different directories, so you could use that as swappable profiles.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nix and bashdot you can also consider the following projects:
GNU Stow - GNU Stow - mirror of savannah git repository occasionally with more bleeding-edge branches
vcsh - config manager based on Git
dotfiles - Settings for various tools I use.
dotfiles - .files
dot.me - me dot files
zinit - Flexible and fast Zsh plugin manager with clean fpath, reports, completion management, Turbo, annexes, services, packages.
stowage - Stow-like tool with a backup feature, designed for keeping dotfiles under version control via symlinks
dotfiles - Mostly ~/.* files to configure vim, sh, tmux, etc. on Debian, Mac, and Windows
