Description

I would like to automatically configure Brave on new installs and one way I can think to do that is via programmatically enabling Brave Sync. Placing a dotfile with a known structure at a known location could be one way to do this. Bonus points for exposing other settings in the file, too.

Ideally the plain text sync code is somehow torn down after Brave uses it to provision the browser profile.

Sync chain codes should already be considered passwords, so encrypting them using something like sops and passing it between systems automatically does not sound like the end of the world to me. I'm migrating to NixOS, so configuring everything with as little effort as possible is important to me.

Similar to #11518, but that one seems to be stale, so I'd like to drum up conversation with a request specific to sync code based automated provisioning.

Even cooler,if there are simply dotfiles which can be synced via git
