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!

    The way the autocommiting works is weird, have to use regular git commands for that. Also templating doesn’t work for me. I was trying to establish a file with the same content across multiple devices in different subfolders but it kind of didn’t work out.

      That’s unfortunate, because I commit manually (I want to write the messages) and I never needed to template the filepaths. I’m using file templates and it works flawlessly tho.
