I used to use stow as well, but I have since switched to a simpler thing: I keep all my dotfiles in ~, but they are version-controlled in ~/etc through a bare git repo:
Code: alias etc="/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/etc --work-tree=$HOME"It has worked really well so far. As a bonus, it plays nicely with vim8 (which has a built-in plugin manager), as I can just run Code: etc submodule add https://github.com/USER/PACKAGE.git .vim/pack/base/start/PACKAGE |
