How do you guys quickly sync your settings (especially bash aliases and ssh keys) across your machines?

Ideally i want a simple script to run on every new server I work with. Any suggestions?

    Just for fun, here's how I'm checking that (this was written in 2016 and may require adjusting as I haven't been keeping up on Linux for a while):

    function oscheck() {
    	if [[ "$(uname -s)" == 'Darwin' ]]; then
    
    		# echo Darwin
    		osType=Darwin
    		return 0
    
    	elif
    		[[ "$(uname -s)" == 'Linux' ]]; then
    
    		# echo Linux
    		osType=Linux
    
    		grep CentOS /etc/os-release > /dev/null
    		if [[ "$?" == 0 ]]; then
    		    # echo "CentOS"
    		    export theDistro=CentOS
    		    return 0
    		else
    			:
    		fi
    
    		grep Ubuntu /etc/os-release > /dev/null
    		if [[ "$?" == 0 ]]; then
    		    export theDistro=Ubuntu
    		    return 0
    		else
    			:
    			# echo "Not Ubuntu"
    		fi
    
    		printf "  %s\n" "Error: osType tested true for Linux, but did not find CentOS or Ubuntu." ""
    		return 1
    
    	else
    		osType=Unknown
    		return 1
    	fi
    }
    oscheck
