Can you deploy .dotfiles?
Personal Unix dotfiles and bootstrap configuration for shell, editor, terminal, and file-manager tools.
THE DECISION
Repository route
A personal workstation configuration repository for Git, Bash, Zsh, Vim, tmux, Ranger, Xresources, and Vimperator. Its installer replaces home-directory targets with symbolic links and may initialise developer tools, so inspect it and test in an isolated environment before use.
