I'm looking for recommendations for a dotfile manager - there are so many out there I've got a bit of options paralysis!
I'd like a system that can backup all my dotfiles - with version management - and, if I nuked my home directory, could restore them all for me with a simple command.
Thanks in advance for you suggestions!
I use a bare git repo in
.dotfiles/that uses the home folder as a working tree, configured the repository to ignore untracked files, and then just add my dotfiles if there's a change.To setup working dirs I aliased that to
dtfhttps://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
Same. My alias is
ditfor "dotfile git".
