WorkOS

Reminds me of my own project, Comtrya
One of our goals is to run anywhere too, we have support for BSD as well as Windows, macOS, and Linux; as well as first class variant support for "define once, run everywhere" functionality.
Our core lib is available and built to support other dot file managers, perhaps it could be useful to you.

Are your per-machine branches mostly distinct, or do they share a lot?
I use https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm and I find my dotfiles share _quite a bit_ in some respects (e.g. neovim config) but are drastically different in others (SSH config as one example) -- keeping things synced _across_ branches sounds very difficult. rcm handles this well, without branches, IMO.
I just wrote my own dotfiles manager in Ruby [1]. Not too hard, imo.

shameless plug, I wrote my own too called dotbot. I modeled it after the python version.

I've been looking for a cross-platform dotfile management tool and I had some hope for this but it seems a little too complex, and I don't like that I would end up with lots of yaml/toml/json files. I use Mac, Windows, and Linux and I want to have a single configuration for all. I've been using https://github.com/rhysd/dotfiles and it is the only thing that really works well for me.
For many dotfile configs such as text editors, aliases or else not involving security, I personally don't care if it's public. Take this example https://github.com/AzogMugen/shortcuts-config/tree/master/ho...
