Have you used Chezmoi (https://chezmoi.io) before? I've been using that for a few years now; I'd be curious to understand how YADM compares.

I have not used chezmoi, thanks for the pointer. From the comparison chart it looks similar to yadm. It looks like go vs. bash is the biggest difference. It’s occasionally handy to debug yadm’s bash script, although it’s been years since I had to do so. I’ll take a deeper look.

A major reason I stick with yadm, aside from that it works great and offers me no trouble, is that for basic usage I can just reuse my existing familiarity with the git interface, replacing "git" with "yadm" in the command.
