I just use Ansible for this purpose. All my work machines are set up using a single, parameterized Ansible playbook.

Clever, I'll have to look into that. I thought this was a no-brainer and that this was something everyone did some way or another. I use github for my dotfiles, also, try to keep them synchronized on my mac/pc/linux for familiarity. very simple stuff though. Also easy to pack and transport in cases where I cannot directly connect to internet.

Somewhat odd to claim managing dotfiles securely and then tell people to execute 350 lines of shell script to install it.

Security is in the eyes of the beholder. I was trying to find the actual program. All i found was only instructions how to install it.
