Dotfile configurations are managed with GNU Stow.

To deploy dotfiles:

1. Run the command stow <dir>, where <dir> is the name of a folder whose entire contents we wanted symbolic links for in our home directory.
2. Stow will look in the folder <dir> and create a symbolic link of all the files with that <dir> one folder above where the stow command was run.

Example with the following file tree:

├── bash
│   ├── .bashrc
│   └── .profile
├── foo
│   └── .config
│       └── foo
│           └── somefile
└── vim
    └── .vimrc

Running stow foo inside the dotfiles folder will then create a symbolic link at ~/.config/foo/somefile, creating any intermediate directories that don’t already exist.

If you want to delete a set of symbolic links, just run stow -D <dir>.
