Dotfiles

Dotfiles are custom configuration files used to maintain user preferred settings across the operating system. Thanks to version control systems (like Git) and repository hosting services (like GitHub) dotfiles are now easy to maintain as well as share with others.

Looking at someone else's dotfiles helps to discover new configurations and tweaks of commonly used software to increase productivity and comfort.

The dotfiles repository contains directories with configuration files. Each directory corresponds to a "package" for convenience. For instance, all Neovim related configuration files are stored in neovim "package" (directory).

GNU Stow is used to install the packages.

GNU Stow is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on the file system, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place.
