    Since we're sharing, my dotfiles setup has pretty much reached its final form. I use my symgr[1] to symlink my dotfiles repo into my home dir. Pretty much everything I think about this topic is in its readme, as well as a link to my setup[2] repo with my dotfiles showing how I use symgr.

    And because it's very instructive, I hand-rolled all the rest as well, resulting in this (set via PROMPT_COMMAND).

    and so on, for each config file. My general dotfiles repo is public here, if you want to take a look how I did it for the tools I use: https://github.com/bewuethr/dotfiles

    This still isn't ideal. For example, I use Git submodules for Vim plugins in the shared repo – but maybe I don't need all of that on my Raspberry pi. I feel like at some point, a config file based solution could be better; or using a tool such as https://yadm.io/, which is using bare repos under the hood.
