Creating symlinks

I use symlinks to manage dotfiles. Stow is my go to tool for managing the symlinks.

This helper script is automatically put in PATH by nix. It creates symlinks automatically if the certain app is installed.

link-dotfiles

In case there is no nix:

bash nixos/bin/link-dotfiles.sh

Only certain app dotfiles

Example for tmux:

stow -vSt ~ tmux

This creates symlinks to tmux config files in ~/.config/ folder.
