To complete the description of the workflow (for others), you can replicate your home directory on a new machine using the following command:<p><pre><code>   git clone --separate-git-dir=~&#x2F;.myconf &#x2F;path&#x2F;to&#x2F;repo ~
</code></pre>
This is the best solution I&#x27;ve seen so far, and I may adopt it next time I get the itch to reconfigure my environment.
