That would be clutch! I typically just copy and paste if there are any updates, many changes outside of the base set ups are specific to the laptop for work vs personal !

Here’s my very personalize Makefile for installing which perhaps could be adapted.

github.com/jmervine/zshrc/blob/mas...

Which, when looking over just now for the first in quite a while, needs some clean up.

Hmmmm I like this enough that I might do it too. Right now I'm symlinking everything in a bash script which works well, but the uninstall would have to be manual at the moment. I like that make would kind of supervise all of that.
