Personally, I use git [0] along with GNU stow [1], combined with making the files directly from a literate Readme.org (e.g. [2]). I sync this repository between machines to update files, and when I make changes in the org-mode Readme file it automatically generates the new file. There are ways to pull in changes made to that file directly, but haven't needed to do that. My repo doesn't walk you through it completely, but I think is pretty straightforward. If you want to see it in action along with a few links and pointers, do take a look at [0]. I really like having it all together in one place, and with org-mode everything is very (human) readable.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.

(I use GNU Stow too, though have not thought to create a literate version of my scripts and hacks.)

Thank you! The move to literate files is pretty easy, and is nice to work with. Now I just gotta do the rest, with the real time being to document a bit better.

I use stow as well, highly recommended!
