Dotfiles feel too intimate and personal to share (hamatti.org)

I was kind of surprised to see this article on HackerNews, so I thought I'd ask here; how do you handle your dotfiles and do you share them publicly?

My own dotfiles started from those provided by ArcoLinux, with a bunch of changes over the years I had them. Currently installed using Ansible, because that's more sensible than Bash for this imo.

I use YADM to manage my dotfiles. I like and recommend it.

I don’t share them, though.

I work in a security-related position. My dotfiles expose more about tools I use, how I have them configured and if those configurations are secure.

I still like sharing and if there’s some snippet I think is particularly useful, I may share directly or post it somewhere. But I don’t share them all by default.

    Pretty much how I feel about it too. It's not like I invented anything here, I mostly copied it from others or the docs. I will share snippets with people if it helps them but I'm not publishing everything either. Might need to look into yadm at some point.
