For dot file management, I personally back up my dot files to a locally hosted server, but I used to have a private git repo for this on GitHub. Then I put together a simple bash script to automate placing the dot files
The bash script just moves the directories into where they need to go. Very beginner friendly.
As a tip for your learning, do it manually once or twice, then think “okay, now let’s automate that”. Think about what you did when you manually executed the task, i.e. selecting a directory, then moving that directory into your .config directory as an example. Get to know the mv command and its flags, then your set to script it out!
