What dotfiles manager do you use?
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!

Currently using stow, but in the process of switching to home manager from nix. Syncing via git.
Interesting - can I ask why you prefer home-manager to stow?
It's nice to configure your programs similar to the rest of your system (a lot of programs have modules in home-manager), on the other hand using home-manager always feels somewhat iffy to me because some configurations require root commands to apply your user configuration changes, or you're missing out on certain home-manager features like using global packages I think.
Can't say I'd prefer it yet. Still figuring out how nix works.
