What do people use in 2023 for managing dotfiles?

I've done the whole "~/ is a git repo" thing for a few years now, it's mostly ok... but has a few annoying downsides. It is fairly easy to manage changes. However setting it up is kinda annoying and you can end up accidentally losing unstaged files in ~/ when using it 😅

@craftyguy seperate dotfiles git and copy it over. Because sometimes I want to keep an older version on another machine on purpose, and I know when and why what breaks. I dont think I really want that automatic.
