chezmoi helps you manage your personal configuration files (dotfiles, like ~/.gitconfig) across multiple machines.
chezmoi provides many features beyond symlinking or using a bare git repo including:
- templates (to handle small differences between machines).
- password manager support (to store your secrets securely).
- importing files from archives (great for shell and editor plugins).
- full file encryption (using gpg or age).
- running scripts (to handle everything else).
This is free and open source software.
