GNU stow is used to link the configuration files to their proper location.

Each configuration package has a .stowrc resource file to specify the target directory, stow directory, and ignored files. To stow a specific package:

cd <package-dir> && stow .

This allows for a consistent behaviour of all different configurations by utilizing .stowrc
