My dotfiles setup is very simple: I version control my $HOME directory using git. I ignore everything by default to avoid accidentally adding files I do not want to track. This avoids the need for any scripts or frameworks. Lately, I have been using Jujutsu for more personal projects and decided to use jj to manage my dotfiles.

Brandon Savage wrote a controversial blog post about why subversion is still more relevant than git.  His main point was that enterprise requires canonical version numbering to track progress in the application and that git cannot do this.   There was a lot of debate about this on Brandson's, but a recent comment by Morgan proved Brandon wrong.
