Discussion on: How do you manage your dotfiles across multiple and/or new developer machines?

For those that are interested, I found an old HackerNews thread, and Reddit Survey that have a ton of valuable perspectives. This article also provides a really nice explanation of the general practice that many people seem to be taking: store dotfiles in GitHub, and then install them via a simple script that symlinks files and runs any additional init logic.

Also, I’m porting some helpful links that folks have shared on Twitter:
