There's a ton of dotfiles management solutions, even multiple lists of them:

I'm currently using GNU Stow to do a lot of the management from this guide coupled with a Brewfile and a small shell script to install a few crucial things. I'm still not terribly happy with it.

This biggest issue I have is crossing operating systems. My work computer is a MacBook Pro, but my home desktop is a Windows PC also running Ubuntu on WSL. So I'll run VS Code, IntelliJ and any other graphical stuff there but run Java, Node and the link in the WSL.
