Dotfile Management with GNU Stow

gabevenberg.com

So I’ve been using git to managing my dotfiles since [checks git log]… 2018. At first, I was going to write some inevitably brittle shell script to handle symlinking from the dotfile repo to where each file should be, but before I got about to implementing it, I discovered stow. Now, after using stow for dotfile management for over 5 years, I figure I should really document exactly how I go about managing my dotfiles, with an aim to help other people who want to have an easy to manage dotfiles repo that can be quickly deployed on new machines.
