When to choose
- you are starting out with version-controlling your configuration files
- you want a curated directory of dotfiles managers and tutorials

When to avoid
- you need an actual dotfiles management tool rather than a guide about them
- you want official GitHub documentation
- you need automated dotfile syncing out of the box
