Hello, i would like to know how you manage your dotfiles.

Do you use some gui or tui?

There are many ways i don’t what to do.

Probably im going to do git repo with lazygit. I like tuis. I am managing files on two artix linux systems 1- pc and 2- laptop

    I use Syncthing with a folder called “Configuration Files” where I drop all my sync-able configs and dotfiles and I simply symlink them as needed.

      So there’s at least the two of us doing it this way. Syncthing is an absolutely fantastic tool.

        Yeah, it’s fantastic. It’s more effective at this than I thought because even though I use git a lot for programming and projects, I’ve admittedly forgotten far too often to commit and push/pull trivial changes on devices and in most cases, all I need is just for dotfiles to sync across devices anyway.

          I am syncing a whole lot more than just dotfiles and have done so for years. Admittedly, I am running an always-on-instance (multiple, in fact…). Syncthing hasn’t put a foot wrong in over a decade.

          I am donating a small amount to the project every month and would like to encourage others to do the same.
