Dotfiles (GNU Stow)

This repo mirrors $HOME. The repo root is the Stow package. Use Stow from this directory to (re)link everything into ~.

Quick start

cd /Users/swrj/dotfiles
stow -t /Users/swrj .

Refresh / fix broken links

cd /Users/swrj/dotfiles
stow -R -t /Users/swrj .

Remove all links (unstow)

cd /Users/swrj/dotfiles
stow -D -t /Users/swrj .

Add a new tool config

1. Move the config into this repo (mirroring its path in ~).
2. Re-stow.

Examples:

# ~/.config/<tool>
mv /Users/swrj/.config/<tool> /Users/swrj/dotfiles/.config/<tool>

# ~/.<file>
mv /Users/swrj/.<file> /Users/swrj/dotfiles/.<file>

cd /Users/swrj/dotfiles
stow -R -t /Users/swrj .

Remove a tool config

rm -rf /Users/swrj/dotfiles/.config/<tool>
cd /Users/swrj/dotfiles
stow -R -t /Users/swrj .

Install Stow

brew install stow
