On: Porn, Zen, and .vimrc

I wonder, what is the preferred way to install configuration files such as .vimrc, .bashrc etc. across all the machines a user logs into?

i just keep a repo of public configs and curl them to any new machines and have a simple script to symlink the various configs to their expected locations

There's a standard tool for that:

thank you, i was not aware and I will investigate it

For me, the only machines I log into and use are my own, so I use ansible to manage local configs.
