Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
I really like this method as opposed to using a bare Git repository. For one, it's conceptually simpler in my mind; you don't have to understand Git internals to get this working. Secondly, this lets you pick and choose which config files you want to "install" on a machine.
I feel obligated to share my Bash script, dotfiles.sh[1], that accomplishes what Stow does, but with a few tweaks that I found particularly useful:
dotfiles.sh targets the user's home directory by default (i.e. stow -t $HOME).
dotfiles.sh never symlinks directories, only files (i.e. stow --no-folding). (This was the straw that broke the camel's back and made me roll my own script in the first place.)
dotfiles.sh makes backups of local config files and can restore them if you remove your symlinked version.
My script is quite old now, and I use it so seldomly I'm not convinced there aren't bugs. YMMV.

Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
I've been doing something similar.
Basically adding a alias to my zshrc, that runs: `git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME`.
And then set status.showUntrackedFiles to no.
See: https://github.com/sp1ritCS/dotfiles
I've got this idea from the following blogpost: https://news.opensuse.org/2020/03/27/Manage-dotfiles-with-Gi...
