It really depends on what you're looking for (more towards development or sys admin stuff?) I started out with http://dotfiles.github.io/ http://dotfiles.github.io/ and then populated a Git repo from there. Personally, I have things that make it easy to apply patches, create diffs, change to frequently used dirs and the likes.
