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 used yadm for a while and liked it. It is a git wrapper that makes git’ing your home folder for config files less messy

    https://yadm.io/

    Now I don’t care so much for keeping settings anymore and use mainly vanilla settings, therefore I stopped using it

      Second this, works great for multiple OSs as well, Linux and OSX in the same repo.
