Go for it, its mostly inspired from nix in how I set it up. I can just run make and create dot files for whatever I need then rsync it over to where I need it.

Go for it, its mostly inspired from nix in how I set it up. I can just run make and create dot files for whatever I need then rsync it over to where I need it. Aka I can customize my dot files based on if i'm going to a bsd/mac/linux box with(out)/nix/perl/haskell/git/whatever and have an easy way to copy things over the top of things or not. I declared dot file bankruptcy a few years ago and this is my "perpetual penultimate dot file solution" (yes I'm making a joke at my own expense with penultimate here). But this new setup is easily the most sane I've found so far. Most dot file management uses softlinks which sucks for rsyncing, or some hokey templating language. All mine amounts to is just a stupid .el file that holds predicate definitions that just controls via stupid elisp when an org babel block gets tangled out into a file. Its pretty simple and straightforward. Wonder if I should do some sort of show and tell for it or not. Good luck! Hope it helps or inspires something better.
