Here are my dotfiles and configs for programming on my machine.
symlink.sh is a bash script that automatically moves the files specified inside from ~/<file_path> to ./data/<file_path> and leaves a symlink at the original path. Obviously if the file does not exist at ~/<file_path> but is in ./data/<file_path> is just creates the symlink.
To use just run ./symlink.sh or bash symlink.sh.
