Linking

The core, extra, or staging directories are designed to be used with GNU stow.

Using GNU Stow

stow -d "$REPO/{core,extra,staging}" -t "$HOME" -S package…

Examples

git clone --depth=1 --branch=main -- https://betaco.de/strom/dotfiles.git
stow -d "./dotfiles/core" -t "$HOME" -S tmux readline

This example will create the following symbolic links:

1. ~/.inputrc 🡒 ./dotfiles/core/readline/.inputrc
2. ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf 🡒 ./dotfiles/core/tmux/.config/tmux.conf

Notes

Directories in staging may be disappeared at any time.
