  Yet Another Dotfiles Manager

I've tried this and a lot of other dotfile managers (homesick, homeshick, etc), my current favorite and what I'm using now is YADM:

  Manage your dotfiles across multiple diverse machines, securely.

I used stow for a few years, but I outgrew stow when dealing with different architectures (arm vs x86_64) and OS (macOS, Debian based, RHEL based).

I settled upon chezmoi and don't have any complaints aside from it being a little bit cumbersome when merging (mostly due to my inexperience)

  My dotfiles (by peteryates)

I use a very simple Makefile to install and remove my dotfiles. If you want to add a new one it's simply a case of creating a directory and adding your config file to it.

You can change any of the files by accessing them via your .dotfiles directory or in their normal place - they're just symlinks.
