GNU Stow is a very useful Perl program but it has some minor issues that need to be fixed
I use GNU Stow to symlink many shell and configuration files from a repository. It works so well and there are many webpages out there from people telling you how it's the best way to manage dotfiles.

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 )

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.
