What are people's views on having your dotfile repo public? I generally have mine public in case anything comes in handy for others but have been wondering lately whether there is a heightened risk of inadvertently committing something private/secret.
- Helmut10001 5y agoI have mine on my personal, private Gitlab.
- mxuribe 5y agoMy journey of managing my dotfiles is still early days, but I have mine hosted in a private github repo. Of course, even via a private repo, i assume that the moment something leaves my machine it is not as private nor as protected as i would like...So, i try hard to ensure that nothing sensitive ever lives in those files. (I've behaved this paranoiod way for decades now, even before using github, etc.)
- ripley12 5y agoPublic, mostly because it makes cloning my dotfiles to new computers/VMs much easier. But yeah, requires a bit of care to avoid committing secrets.
