I haven't heard of YADM before you mentioned it. I will look into it since I don't have a solution to manage all of my dotfiles yet.

There's a whole bunch of options in that space, but I prefer the simplicity and straightforwardness of YADM. It's basically just a wrapper around git allowing you to track files without making an actual repository, i.e. it only cares about files you manually add to it so a yadm status won't list dozens of unrelated files and folders.

It also imposes no restrictions on folder structure etc.
