Stupid quest

[ElModdy]

Hi, I'm sorry for the stupid quest feel free to close the issue.
Is there a way to syslink the whole folder with stow, so when I add a file in the "original" directory it gets created also in the .dotfiles repo?

what do you try to do?
You can create a new directory outside your home directory, for example /home/my-dots,
you paste behind all the files you want, and create a simple link with:

$ ln -s /home/my-dots /home/username

(the directory should be void) , the permission on the /home/my-dots will be less secure 0770.

With only stow, it's a bit more complicated to do.
