Your config is your entire ~/.emacs.d directory, so use whatever method you prefer to synchronise that between machines. (e.g. a Github repository, or a Dropbox folder, or whatever works best for you).

This works because emacs and most of its packages are largely platform agnostic. Cross platform reproduction of an identical emacs experience requires only a few lines in the init.el file to resolve OS specific paths to the synchronized emacs package directory. | |

Different flavors o f*nix should be ok, but you might have problems if you try to share across machines running OSes that are too different. | |

As long as you can move your init.el around (using git for example), this approach also works (based on use-package): lunaryorn.com/posts/…
