vcsh VS bashdot

I'm pretty happy with vcsh. I've used a lot of options over the years, and this is the only one I've never been motivated to replace.

weirdly, nobody mentioned vcsh[1] yet. it's a git-based tool that gives all git goodies. I use it and a couple of bash micro scripts to pull/push the latest changes upon logging in/out into shell (again bash, but seeking for POSIX or fish-based version)

I feel obligated to point out vcsh [1], which is likely already packaged for your operating system.

The main selling point is that you can set up various git repos for different things. I have one for SSH keys (and no, that does not get pushed anywhere except to my own private server), VIM, neovim, bash, and 'other' (for misc config files like .dir_colors, .gitconfig, etc.).

I'm using vcsh which is basically a small wrapper around git. The resulting repository is this in my case.

It’s over-engineered, but I’ve been using https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh for this for years.

I've been using bashdot(https://github.com/bashdot/bashdot) does exactly this. It's a simple bash script that sets up symlinks for a given directory. It can also switch symlinks to different directories, so you could use that as swappable profiles.
