Is Ansible even the right tool? (yes, but not for dotfiles)

What about "chezmoi"? https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi

An example:

https://gitlab.com/katrinleinweber/dotfiles/-/tree/1602de7670bc72eda01638401da35349551fbc54

Main advantages would be

• Someone else maintains this
• It's already solved most problems
• No / simple install dependencies

Disadvantages

• Single repo (I want orthogonal change histories)
• Someone else maintains this
