How do you guys quickly sync your settings (especially bash aliases and ssh keys) across your machines?
Ideally i want a simple script to run on every new server I work with. Any suggestions?

Interesting way to go about it. Though when I’m at the point where I need differences between linux and darwin, I’m probably going to do that at the home-manager level.

Just for fun, here’s how I’m checking that (this was written in 2016 and may require adjusting as I haven’t been keeping up on Linux for a while):
function oscheck() {
if [[ "$(uname -s)" == 'Darwin' ]]; then
# echo Darwin
osType=Darwin
return 0
elif
[[ "$(uname -s)" == 'Linux' ]]; then
# echo Linux
osType=Linux
grep CentOS /etc/os-release > /dev/null
if [[ "$?" == 0 ]]; then
# echo "CentOS"
export theDistro=CentOS
return 0
else
:
fi
grep Ubuntu /etc/os-release > /dev/null
if [[ "$?" == 0 ]]; then
export theDistro=Ubuntu
return 0
else
:
# echo "Not Ubuntu"
fi
printf " %s\n" "Error: osType tested true for Linux, but did not find CentOS or Ubuntu." ""
return 1
else
osType=Unknown
return 1
fi
}
oscheck

Checking for Ubuntu or CentOS is a tad limiting given the amount of distros there are ;)
