Chezmoi: manage your dotfiles securely across multiple machines

I'm very comfortable with my keybindings for a lot of things, particularly the way I have vim and tmux set up to work nicely together. I also have a fairly extensive zsh config using vi mode and some alternate key bindings. If I remote in to a stock machine, I can get by though.

I have about 7 different machines/VMs/VPSes/partitions I use semi-regularly, so it's nice to have the exact same setup I use everywhere.

I also don't want to have to re-create my setup every time because I won't remember all the tweaks I set up months or years ago. I'm not the kind of user who constantly tweaks their configs, I've been using basically the same configs for about three years.

I'm the same way, and I have a similar setup. I have a public git repo with all of my custom git, vim, tmux, etc configs. It serves 2 purposes for me 1. make it easy to setup a new machine (literally run 1 command) and 2. provide a way to automatically backup configs for any machine I am on.

Everything I work on is either in git, dropbox, or I don't care about it. My goal is that I should be able to lose any computer I am working on, and be back up and running within a day.

Huh, I have about the same number. I suppose this is a matter of personal taste. Thanks for addressing my curiosity!
