I have a tgz I created of important ~/.config items, mostly related to my openbox setup. I have git repos for my vim, mutt, fish, and ~/.local/bin items. I have a tgz of important /etc items, particularly vm.conf virtual host info for vmm, pf, etc.
Lastly I have a master file of my installed packages created from pkg_info (forget the specific flags) but you can feel that file to a pkg add and let it install everything for you. Ken
