Installation
Use GNU Stow (apt install stow, etc.). The repo has a .stowrc which should target your home directory as the installation directory, but in some cases the ~ may not be evaluated and you'll have to specify --target="$HOME".
Install the essentials with stow zsh vim git.
Notes
Git
Most of my git configuration lives in ~/.config/git/personal.gitconfig, which is included from ~/.gitconfig. I do this to separate system-specific configuration that may be set by automated tools (i.e. the Github CLI setting up credential managers for guthub.com and gist.github.com) from my personal, cross-platform configuration (e.g. my identity and aliases).
Keep configuration that should be synced between computers in the personal.gitconfig file, and after cloning the repository, consider telling Git to ignore local changes to the main .gitconfig file:
git update-index --skip-worktree git/.gitconfig
KDE
Files in ~/.local/share/color-schemes come from my repo of KDE titlebar color schemes.
