I store everything in an org file which I can choose to encrypt using the :crypt: tag. This file can live anywhere(GitHub, Dropbox, drive, etc etc). The dotfiles are stored in source blocks from which I'll tangle to the relevant place in the file system. This approach works really well if you are a heavy emacsen user.

As a non-Emacs user (apologies!), I’m not too familiar with org files. Any pointers that could help me understand this solution a bit better? I’m really intrigued 🤗
