I've been using [yadm](https://yadm.io/) instead which works really well!

I always like to mention rcm. It's not a popular one but I tried probably 10 managers before it and much prefer it to the competition: https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm
I've been happy with yadm for few years now. I had tried chezmoi, but preferred yadm. I don't remember my exact reasons though...
I looked at Stow and Chezmoi and also have stuck with YADM. The exact reason is that YADM is so simple and intuitive because it's basically Git-for-dotfiles with so little to learn. Yet it also manages to support alternate and template files.
I looked around at a bunch but settled on yadm for basically just using a normal git workflow. I wanted to just edit the files directly, know what it's doing, and not change how I worked. I really dislike the `<tool> edit/run/<standard command>` UI pattern that's fairly common now.
