How do you manage your dotfiles?
I'm wondering if there is a new tool out there that I'm missing out on.

I use Chezmoi but I have to point out some of its downfalls vs. other dotfile managers, particularly if someone is looking to migrate to it.
chezmoi remove ...
. You can't just rm
them from your dotfiles directory, because chezmoi does not sync state; it simply applies what's currently in your repo.Despite these gripes I still use it because deployment via a single binary is convenient, and there's enough control through the generated config file + system info to handle multiple kinds of deployments sort-of-sensibly (see point 4 above).
