Every time I see these tools for “managing” dotfiles, or something for “managing” notes I get a bit perplexed as to what the use is, but then I am reminded of and impressed with how different people’s brains are and how we work and think.

I was getting by with bare git and then YADM until I grew tired of managing the logic to keep everything in sync across multiple machines and types or versions of OS, on top of managing my configs already.

I always think "managing dotfiles" is the path that leads to Windows Registry if you follow it too far.

Or if you follow just the right amount. Apart from the implementation issues, it's a great idea. MacOS essentially has a similar thing available through defaults.
