This is pretty cool. For a while I&#x27;ve used a dotfiles repo with various settings and config files in there, but I never got around to writing a script to automate symlinking things on new machines (and which things not to bother with - eg Sublime Text preferences on some remote machines).<p>Can you explain how sync differs if you use Git as your sync arrangement vs Dropbox? I know that Dropbox will propagate changes automatically, but git shouldn&#x27;t, so would I have to go in and commit&#x2F;push&#x2F;pull changes if I opted for git, or does this make a decision about when to make these changes?
