Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

When working from multiple servers or laptops, it can sometimes be a hassle syncing config files, such as the .gitconfig file where I personally keep a lot of aliases and other config for working with git.

Proposed solution

Implement a feature that allows syncing a repository or similar structure on GitHub to the local machine´s home directory upon authentication with the GitHub CLI. This would greatly enhance convenience when working from new computers. As gh is one of the first tools I install on new machines, having the option to effortlessly pull down configurations and set them up automatically would save significant time and hassle.

This functionality could maybe even be extended to include any config file or script that resides in the home directory.

Thanks!
