A Way to Manage Dotfiles
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.

A Way to Manage Dotfiles
I just maintain an install script to do the linking. It's just a few lines of zsh to mirror one directory into another with symlinks. I've found that the bare repo approach has too many rough edges, and that the various dotfile management frameworks are overkill.
