Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I'll echo the other comments recommending to stick with "defaults". However, I do like having the ability to sync my installed packages and apps across machines, so I wrote a little script to update/reinstall packages on macOS using brew: https://github.com/maxpetretta/dotfiles
Between my dotfiles and cloud storage, you could throw my laptop in a lake and I could configure a brand new machine in an hour or two.

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I wrote a utility for this problem. I had 3 computers -- Linux with HiDPI, Linux with a normal DPI, and Mac. They all used the same dotfiles with slight differences. It was impossible to keep them in sync. I created a super simple template utility designed for working with dotfiles.
