What dotfiles manager do you use?

daddyjones@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 70 points –

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 thought about this, but doesn't this make problems when working with other git repos in subfolders of your home directory?

Not at all. For two reasons: the ignore file and git recognizes when a sub directory is a git repo
