    You know how to script and what a symlink is; why aren’t you using git or any other kind of version control instead?

      Because I formed these habits in the nineties and 00’s, well before git was a thing; and because nothing I write matters, other than possibly to my employers, in which case I do use (primarily) git … Or other version control. (Believe it or not, I’ve used subversion.)

      Most of the documents to which I apply this are things like my resume and DNS server. No one but me will ever care.

      Also, I like you both for asking this question and for how you put it.
