Does anyone have experience using GNU Stow for managing dot files? I’m especially interested in using it to build a git repo to include my .vimrc
file so I can sync it between hosts.
I know I’ve seen other methods, such as making your home directory a bare git repo, so you can check-in your config files without moving them. There is also the chezmoi golang project.
How do others sync .vimrc
between hosts?
I don’t use such a feature. I only keep basic configurations that I don’t want to reproduce everywhere like my emacs configuration. I suspect it’s mostly used by developers who need to store SSH keys, server configs, or other weird stuff. I’m a developer for backend or regular applications and I don’t need this kind of synchronization.
