I'm in a similar situation (3 different workstations that should have the same config) and tried to solve it with all major config management solutions (Ansible, Puppet, Saltstack) and also tried using a Bash script. While config management works perfectly at my workplace (for real servers), I found all of them way to complicated and slow to maintain my workstations.

In the end I switched to use a plain Git-managed makefile which works perfectly for me, because:

- Plain and simple syntax, single file

- Shell autocompletion for Makefile targets, if I only want to install a small set

- No need to write cfg management "modules" as I can achieve the same with minimal Bash scripting

This is how my config looks currently: https://gist.github.com/ifischer/5fdd672aeed1099c1f6c6ea925c...
