This is a good one and is what I use. It's essentially a wrapper around the classic "make ~ version controlled" using a bare git repo. FYI lazygit has a good interface with yadm, as well as emacs' magit

I've mostly resisted the urge to use a dotfile manager so far, but I'm starting to feel like it's time. I was excited when I ran across this one and noticed it was written in Python and had Git-like semantics.
Will play with it this weekend and report back.
It's honestly excellent. Very capable yet doesn't complicate things beyond "it's git" unless you want to check out a fancy feature.
Do y'all use git to store sensitive data like passwords, even encrypted? This does not sit well with me. At work, we use a vault. For personal use, I use a password manager and manually copy and paste those envs.
Definitely don't include passwords in git.
Using a password manager is best.
If you are using secrets when developing you can load secrets into environment variables automatically when you run a program: https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secrets-environment-variables/
I concur, which is why I was a bit surprised by this section of yadm's webpage:
It can be useful to manage confidential files, like SSH keys, across multiple systems. However, doing so would put plain text data into a Git repository, which often resides on a public system. yadm implements a feature which can make it easy to encrypt and decrypt a set of files so the encrypted version can be maintained in the Git repository.
