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)
