chezmoi

Dotfiles manager through a version control system.

I use chezmoi (http://chezmoi.io) after years of rolling my own. It’s not as straightforward as some home managers, but the extra power it provides is _amazing_ and worth the learning curve. I pull some information from the local keychain and others from 1Password (with `op`; I will be moving most of the rest to 1Password from the keychain). It can run additional scripts _after_ each update (I use it to update my fish plug-in installations if I change `fish_plugins`). It has integrations with many different password managers so that it is possible truly keep your secrets out of your dotfile configuration and _still_ vary the configuration based on those secrets.
