Re: Show HN: F-dotfiles, GNU stow with healthy organization guidelines
#2I decided to have a dotfiles repo a few months ago.
Started with a @holman fork but was rebuted by the bootstrap/install scripts limitations.
Using stow resolved that.
Then I stumbled upon questions that did not have obvious gold standard way to do it :
- how do you differentiate folders meant to be stowed from others?
- how do you store config files saved at different locations depending on platform without duplicating content?
- how to deal with files with sensitive information?
So I used some guidelines to deal with theses cases, the result is F-dotfiles.
