Just wanted to say thank you for the discussion topic. I am storing mine in Dropbox at the moment and I’m very new to bash and using dotfiles and etc. I have read many of the things here and I will try to refactor. I have been using bash’s source to include scripts (functions) and settings from a folder in Dropbox. I simply didn’t know of other ways and it’s great to see them now.

After reading several things here I may create a git repo and then I will likely just create symlinks for what I need (as well as a script to generate those symlinks on a fresh install).
