dotfiles

My Dotfiles managed by Gnu Stow

Usage:

Clone this repository to ~/dotfiles with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/anthonyoteri/dotfiles ~/dotfiles

Change into the ~/dotfiles directory and create the symlink tree using

stow .

Adding a new file.

Move the file into the ~/dotfiles folder under the same directory structure as if the root of the repository were the home folder, then run stow . to create a symlink.

How it works

The original files should live under the ~/dotfiles directory in the same layout as they would appear in the home directory. Gnu Stow will walk the directory tree, and create symlinks in the parent directory of any files it finds there. E.g. ~/dotfiles/.foobar will be mapped as a symlink to ~/.foobar, and ~/dotfiles/some/path/.barfoo will be mapped as a symlink to ~/some/path/.barfoo.
