Manage dotfiles with the GNU stow command

#blog #dotfiles #zsh #bash

I've been looking for a good way to manage my dotfiles and configs, and I found this article written by Shawn McElroy about managing your dotfiles with GNU stow.

So I applied his methods to my config and so far I'm very pleased, and I initialized an git repo on my GitHub page with an initial config and README.md

I’m a big fan of homeshick for managing dotfiles. I haven’t tried stow yet.
