I've had my dotfiles in git for 7+ years. Work on Windows, Linux and macOS. Conditionalization in BASH is dead simple.

Yeah, it seems like keeping the cond inside the dotfiles, rather than in a dotfiles manager is the way to go.

I use $(uname -s) (Cygwin required on Windows) and dispatch on that. There's really nothing more than that.
