As more applications migrate to xdg, I have simply taken to having my .config directory be a git repository.

Inside that directory I have a “dotfiles” subdirectory that has managed versions of my home directory dotfiles which I symlink in.

I've been using git and tarballs to synchronize my ~/.config across half a dozen hosts.
