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.

Fulfilling a reader's request for my “dot files”
I use https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm, which works smoothly and includes support for host-specific files
-
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)

Don't Let Messy Dotfiles Ruin Your Coding Life! Try dotstow and Simplify Your Workflow Today!
Prior to catching the Nix brainworms and switching to home-manager, I mostly used thoughtbot/rcm.

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.

Automatic setup

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.

Endevour OS with i3
Setup a Github/Gitlab account and find a dotfile manager you like (I'm using RCM - it can do more than I actually use it for).
- is there an ansible like tool in tcl?

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
I have a work mac, work linux, and home mac. I want the same terminal-based development environment on all of them, but each requires just a little bit of customization.
For example, the .gitconfig for work is different from home (e.g. my username/email). Ditto for my .ssh/config and my shell aliases.
I also use Nix to manage all my tools, and the home-manager configuration is slightly different between mac & linux due to platform support.
I've gone through a few iterations of home-built solutions, including extending homeshick[1], before discovering YADM which implemented everything I had done but better.

How do you manage your shell scripts?
I do roughly the same and then manage them with 'homeshick' ( https://github.com/andsens/homeshick )

VIM for remote server file editing
Have a look at https://github.com/andsens/homeshick project, it makes this workflow much easier.

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
Homeshick for dotfiles: https://github.com/andsens/homeshick
Docker for Obsidian and Alfred syncing - the three target limit on the free tier is just barely enough for 2 of my own computers and my work laptop.
I've also got a Brewfile for installing the basic tooling on macOS
I also have a "how to set up a new computer/server" document on Notion that I use so I don't forget any steps.

Fish Shell 3.2.0 Released
This is the exact reason I use Fish. The only thing I _need_ to get installed on random servers is Fish itself.
No need to install and configure oh-my-$shell or other huge monstrosities. Most of my stuff comes from a simple homeshick[1] sync with a few files in it.
