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 don't share mine. I manage them with gnu stow and my private gitforge on my server (with 3-2-1 backup in place)

I don't have an objection to sharing them. I don't think it's too personal, I just don't use a public facing gitforge.

Edit to add: I have branches for my different machines in my dotfiles repo for variations
