System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

GNU Stow-based deployment patterns unify dotfiles management by creating deterministic symlinks for home and config directories, while safely handling existing files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative directory conventions map config and home files to their targets.
  • Makefile-driven deployment with dry-run checks, automatic backups, and restow workflow.
  • Step-by-step guidance for adding new configurations and maintaining reproducible setups.

Quick Start

Run make install from the repository root to deploy all dotfiles configurations.
