I did the same. I have a little dotfiles repo[0] on github that I clone on a new machine, then I execute a setup.sh file that installs a messy set of aliases and functions to set up my cozy unix world.

I always enjoy seeing people still using Perl out in the wild. Lynx, too. I use chezmoi for dotfiles management myself but honestly it's kind of overkill, I should probably just start tracking ~ like this.
I've tried a few dotfile management tools, and yeah they're always overkill. Plus it's one more dependency to handle when I'm setting up a new environment.
