Dotfiles manager

I'm using GNU Stow a free, lightweight dotfiles manager written in Perl to manages my dotfiles.

What's make differentiates it from other dotfiles managers is that it does not require various Python, Ruby or Perl dependencies like most dotfiles manager.

With that, it is easy to share files among multiple users or computers with a few command lines.

Getting started

No matter what your Linux distribution, stow can easily be installed according to your package manager:

sudo pacman -S stow
sudo apt-get install stow

For macOS users:

brew install stow

Once the installation is complete, make a clone of the repository:

git clone https://github.com/rememberYou/dotfiles.git

You can now install any configurations you wish to copy using GNU Stow:

# Make sure you are in the right directory
cd dotfiles

# Example to install the offlineimap config
stow offlineimap

# Uninstall the sway config
stow -D offlineimap

If you want to install all the configurations, you can do it directly with stowsym.sh:

# Change permission to execute the script
chmod +x stowsym.sh

# Installation of configuration files
./stowsym.sh -i

# Deletion of configuration files
./stowsym.sh -d

Easy, isn't it? For those who want to find my Emacs configuration files, they are available: here.
