sym is a straightforward batch symlinker developed to easily install and uninstall dotfiles.

It's basically an implementation of the feature subset 99% of GNU Stow users use to (un,)install their dotfiles, with a cleaned-up command line, sane defaults, and multiple args. So instead of something like...

stow --no-folding -t ${HOME} -d shells bash
stow --no-folding -t ${HOME} -d dev-langs python
stow --no-folding -t ${HOME} -d dev-tools tmux

...you can do the equivalent

sym shells/bash dev-langs/python dev-tools/tmux

The README has a more detailed comparison with GNU Stow.

sym does one thing, and does it well :)
(There's also a decent test suite! I've also battle tested it for my own use cases and it works flawlessly.)
