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 git and nix (home-manager) for most of my dotfiles. The main advantage of this is that if manages dotfiles, but also you whole user environment, so you can install some software that you need for your rice for example. It’s very powerfull, but it takes time to get it to work properly since you have to learn nix expressions !
