Pros and cons of git approach:
Pros:
- You have the full power of git to sync your dotfiles as needed.
Cons:
- It is harder to see which of your config files are part of the repo and which ones are not.
- You have the classic "git repo within git repo" problem. If you are anywhere within your folder that's not within another git repo, and you run a git command, that command will apply to THIS repo. Do NOT type a git command without knowing what you are doing, as you could potentially wipe out your entire home folder. (Therefore, all 'git approach' branches are prefixed with "DOTFILES-" to make it clear you are working on the dotfiles repo.)
