Over the years I have collected a number of dotfiles that I have shared across both Linux and macOS machines (`~/.zshrc`, `~/.config/git/config`, `~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf`, etc). I have tried several different ways to manage them, including [bare git repos](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles) and utilities such as [GNU Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/). These solutions work well enough, but I have since found what I would consider a much better solution for organizing user configuration: [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager).
