Managing dotfiles with GNU stow (alexpearce.me)

Does anyone have experience using GNU Stow for managing dot files? I'm especially interested in using it to build a git repo to include my .vimrc file so I can sync it between hosts.

I know I've seen other methods, such as making your home directory a bare git repo, so you can check-in your config files without moving them. There is also the chezmoi golang project.

How do others sync .vimrc between hosts?

Cool, thanks for sharing the repo. I'm reading through your vimrc file, I always find these interesting. I like what you did in "Open new line and stay in normal mode," "Exit insert mode faster," and "Navigate buffers." I'm going add those now!
