Does anyone have experience using GNU Stow for managing dot files? I’m especially interested in using it to build a git repo to include my .vimrc file so I can sync it between hosts.

I know I’ve seen other methods, such as making your home directory a bare git repo, so you can check-in your config files without moving them. There is also the chezmoi golang project.

How do others sync .vimrc between hosts?

    I’ve been using Chezmoi for 2 weeks and it’s fine so far. I guess most of those tools have the same features and IMHO it’s a waste of time to compare every little detail. Use one for a month (stow in your case) and see if it’s good for you.
