dotfiles

Personal configuration files managed with GNU Stow.

Structure

Each top-level directory is a stow package that mirrors the target layout relative to $HOME:

<package>/
├── .config/<app>/...      → ~/.config/<app>/...
├── .local/bin/...          → ~/.local/bin/...
├── .local/share/...        → ~/.local/share/...
└── .ssh/...                → ~/.ssh/...
