Clone and link dotfiles using GNU stow

Welcome to my dotfiles. Follow the instructions below to clone the repo and stow configuration for various applications. Obvious pre-requisite is installation of git and stow packages.

1. Clone repository

   git clone https://github.com/lioncahir/dotfiles.git .dotfiles
   cd .dotfiles

2. Use GNU stow to create symlinks for selected application (use -v option for verbose output)

   stow -v mpv
   stow -v vim

Special considerations

• do not stow Scripts
• do not stow firefox, it contains file user.js which should be symlinked to ~/.mozilla/firefox/profileXXX/
• it is recommended to install (or run first time) the applications (mpv, vim, lf etc.) after stowing their dotfiles
