I  split  up  my  "~/bin" and "~/work/dotfiles" repositories.  Each of
  them now has a "-pub" counterpart. I want to be able to use  the  most
  important configs and scripts both at work and at home.

  The whole situation is not satisfying. Yet. It's all very ugly because
  I have to take care of what is "public" and what's "private".  Grmpf.

  On top of that, I have not yet found the ideal way to put dotfiles  in
  a    git    repository.   For   now,   an   actual   file   might   be
  "~/work/dotfiles/.vimrc". The "~/.vimrc" is just a symbolic link. Now,
  how to manage all those symlinks?

  I can't think of a better solution, though.
