local configuration

Hi all,

I want to use git to synchronize my bashrc's (and other configuration files) between computers. These have common stuff in them, and stuff that's specific to a certain computer. The way I do it now is with a branch for each computer, and one common branch. Is this a known use case, am I misusing git, and is there a more elegant way to do this?

Thanks in advance for replies, kind regards, Roald
