How do you manage your dotfiles?

• rcm

  19 3,070 2.4 Perl

  rc file (dotfile) management

  

I use rcm, which is made by the folks at Thoughtbot. It's dead-simple—it just creates symbolic links in place of files. I'd highly recommend it for a simple and quick approach.

• yadm

  81 4,761 2.4 Python

  Yet Another Dotfiles Manager

I keep all my dotfiles in their usual place and manage them with yadm. It's more or less a wrapper around git, so just point it at your dotfiles and launch a new repo on github to store them. There are more advanced features if you commonly switch between computers too. It will take work to reorganize your files and learn git if you don't know it already, but it's worth it.

  Home Manager config

I use home-manager with Nix. Works really well, and can handle a lot more than just dotfile config, on multiple platforms.

• dotbot

  31 6,784 5.8 Python

  A tool that bootstraps your dotfiles ⚡️

I stumbled upon DotBot. It's a lightweight solution that allows me to structure my dot files in a better way. You are still technically symlinking files and folders from your .dotfiles, or whatever you name it, to other locations, but I do more than that with it.
