dotfiles

These are my system config files.

I'm using GNU Stow to manage everything.

If you want dotfiles in version control, use it, seriously.

The way it works is - make any number of packages, where each one is a directory. Inside each directory, mimic the desired structure of your files as if the directory were ~/. There's no stow config or anything necessary.

Run $ stow mypackage to install everything in mypackage/. Stow will intelligently create symlinks to all those files while not overwriting anything it doesn't control. For instance, my ~/.config/ has a bunch of crap I don't care about, and some stuff I do. This lets me keep the important stuff in version control while leaving everything else alone.
