I like to manage dotfiles without having to mess with silly symlinks or having
to install/configure specific dotfile managament tools. So here's what I did:
 
$ cd ~
$ git init .
$ echo '*' > .gitignore                   # ignore all files by default
$ echo '!.bashrc' >> .gitignore           # ...and then tell git what files not to *not* ignore
$         # ...add other files you may want to track to *not* ignore
$ git add .bashrc                         # now actually add the files to git
$ git add .gitignore                      # add the .gitignore to git
