In particular tools to help manage backup and rollback of system configuration. Or tools to help migrate and old laptop to the new one? I've seen things about dot file management? Stuff like that.

The bash script just moves the directories into where they need to go. Very beginner friendly.

As a tip for your learning, do it manually once or twice, then think "okay, now let's automate that". Think about what you did when you manually executed the task, i.e. selecting a directory, then moving that directory into your .config directory as an example. Get to know the mv command and its flags, then your set to script it out!

Thank you so much. I'll give it a go manually like you say and then dive into scripting.
