homer VS dotfiles

I also track my dotfiles in a Git repo, but I only track my home directory. Made a tool to help out with some of the more arcane commands: https://github.com/tubbo/homer. I'm currently rewriting it in Rust, which is mostly done but I still have to work out a couple kinks on Linux machines . So far, I haven't needed to mess with too many top-level configs on each machine, most of the stuff I do is relatively contained (and uses the XDG standards thankfully). It got a little hairy when I tried to configure certain file paths on both a Linux and macOS environment, as there are different default conventions and other nuances that make the two not fully compatible at times. But it definitely saves a lot of time when setting up a new machine from scratch, `homer bootstrap $REPO_URL` does all the hard work and gets my home directory loaded up with configuration the way I'd expect.

I did something similar here https://github.com/redraw/dotfiles, along with some installation scripts

although, nice idea on tracking the whole / instead of just ~/!

the only thing I miss after aliasing dotfiles to git, is that you lose git's autocompletion features. I once tried to set it up in zsh with autocomp, but without success, should review that
