I’m looking for recommendations for a dotfile manager - there are so many out there I’ve got a bit of options paralysis!

I’d like a system that can backup all my dotfiles - with version management - and, if I nuked my home directory, could restore them all for me with a simple command.

Thanks in advance for you suggestions!

    Currently using stow, but in the process of switching to home manager from nix. Syncing via git.

        It’s nice to configure your programs similar to the rest of your system (a lot of programs have modules in home-manager), on the other hand using home-manager always feels somewhat iffy to me because some configurations require root commands to apply your user configuration changes, or you’re missing out on certain home-manager features like using global packages I think.
