Some explanation

I'm using stow to manage the symlinks.

This is inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkUllCAGs3c

Each folder in this repo will have its contents (files and folders) placed as symlink in the home dir.

So if i have a file and folder such as zsh/.zshrc, zsh/.oh-my-zsh/custom

and then run stow zsh it will create symlinks at ~/.zshrc and ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom.

The personal folder is a submodule, it is a private repo where i have my personal keys and stuff.

How to add more stuff

1. Create a folder in ~/.dotfiles

   mkdir ~/.dotfiles/vim
   

2. Move the files related to that in the folder

   mv ~/.vimrc ~/.dotfiles/vim/
   

3. Then create the symlink with stow

   stow vim
   

✨ And you're done
