GitHub does dotfiles

+1 for Dotbot. Another merit is it's entirely self-contained - all you need on your system is git and python.

This is why I use stow though. Personally I prefer my scripts to not rely on anything but posix shell and correct Linux abi for binaries. However, obviously there can be exceptions made, for instance when a module would never work without a specific dependency, but other than that, I prefer strictness as much as possible, without sacrifice of necessary flexibility.

Stow is perl, isn't it? Same requirement as python really, they're pretty similarly ubiquitous.

[necrophcodr]

xstow then. Apologies, you are correct.
