Device depending neovim configuration

Question

I have a short question.

Currently, I am spending (way too much time) modding my neovim setup. I have multiple devices where I use my setup and sync those with git ( second-best feature, after restoring my config every time I destroy everything ) but there are some small differences in my configuration like plugins, which I don't need on my on-the-way-notebook.

Is there any way to differ in the lua configuration, on which device is currently running neovim?

Sure, multi-branching would be a way, but I'd like a more comfortable way. Thanks for helping

You could use hostname to determine your device and use it to create configuration with conditions.

Lua code to get hostname:

local function get_hostname()
    local f = io.popen ("/bin/hostname")
    local hostname = f:read("*a") or ""
    f:close()
    hostname =string.gsub(hostname, "\n$", "")
    return hostname
end

Neovim configuration:

if get_hostname() == "foo" then
  do_something
else
  do_otherthing
end
