Install

Requirements

The following packages need to be installed:

  • stow
  • git

After installing them as a bare repo (see links below), paste the following line into the terminal:

cd $HOME
stow etc --target=$HOME/.config
cd $HOME && stow home --target=$HOME

# unstow:
stow -D etc --target=$HOME/.config

My dotfiles are managed with a bare repository. I also "install" them with GNU stow. Here are some links explaining a bare repo:
