Dependencies

To manage dotfiles easily, requires the following tools:

• git
• stow

Structure

This is the old structure:

.
├── README.md
└── stow.d
    └── package

This is the new structure:

.
├── README.md
└── package

The aim is to migrate to this simplified structure, when there is time to work through the inevitable disruption this will cause.

Scripts

Scripts can be added to the $PATH by placing them in package/.local/bin. This means that the little scripts for integrating a tool can live in the same place.

.
├── README.md
└── stow.d
    └── package
        ├── .config
        │   └── program_name
        │       └── config_file
        └── .local
            └── bin
                └── script

We can extend this approach to script-only packages.

Important Packages

The following packages are important and have dedicated documentation:

• nvim
