+1 I've been using this for almost ten years. It's straightforward, easy to add files, and there are no symlinks to deal with.

When people ask me which tool I use to manage my dotfiles, I tell them about this little-known tool called `git`. ;)

Side note: I use an shell alias instead, but it's pretty much the same.

`alias home="git --work-tree=$HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.files.git"`
