Stow

It's very important to note that this Dotfiles direcotry must be in your $HOME directory. Otherwise stow will just not do anything.

I use GNU Stow to manage my dotfiles.

If you don't have it already, install it. I use Arch, BTW.

sudo pacman -Sy stow

Once it is installed, it's as simple as running this inside the Dotfiles directory.

stow .

stow --adopt .

sudo pacman -Sy git
