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!

    nuking your home directory

    Imho, in that case, you should look int a more proper backup strategy to restore all your files, not just your configs.

      Or at the very least partition ~ as btrfs/zfs and do regular snapshots. The downside is, of course, that a rollback won’t just roll back the dotfiles. But I guess if the scenario is “nuking [the] home directory” then that’s probably not an issue.
