Managing my dot files: Git bare or Stow ?
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.

GitHub Does Dotfiles
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)
