Getting a new computer, and the thought of moving dotfiles has me shook. I hope vim will support XDG someday.

@tenderlove I’m confused. Why not back up to a dotfiles repo and just clone it?
@tenderlove putting them in dvcs is cool, I don't think it's a bad thing to just symlink to a directory on a fileshare thing (box, Dropbox, whatever) but maybe I'm a heathen
@tenderlove I redid my whole dotfile setup to use Chezmoi specifically because I knew I was getting a new computer recently 😅
@tenderlove :help $VIM
@tenderlove have you used stow? I've used it when switching workstations and it's not perfect, but gives errors when overwriting files (in the new laptop) so it _attempts_ to install your config. It's a fancy `cp`
@tenderlove There's a PR in progress, if you'd like to subscribe for updates or get involved: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/14182. Don't know how complete it is.
