System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Manage and maintain symlinked dotfiles laid out for GNU Stow, removing manual fiddling with ~/.config targets and resolving installation conflicts that break workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Install and uninstall stow packages to create or remove symlinks for tool configurations.
  • Add new stowable packages and place executables under .local/bin so they appear in PATH.
  • Diagnose and resolve symlink conflicts, including root-level AGENTS.md collisions using .stow-local-ignore patterns.
  • Use Case: Add a new editor configuration package, stow it into ~/.config, and fix any AGENTS.md collisions without overwriting other packages.

Quick Start

Install the nvim and tmux stow packages and report any symlink or AGENTS.md conflicts that need .stow-local-ignore updates.
