Dotfiles Configuration

• Install GNU Stow: brew install stow
• Create a dotfiles directory mkdir dotfiles. Make sure the directory is located in your home directory.
• Move inside the directory cd dotfiles
• Make a git repository git init
• Move my configuration to this directory mv ~/.config ./
• Structure your dotfiles inside the dotfiles directory as you would do normally in your home directory.
• Run stow .. This command will do is take everything inside of the dotfiles directory and create symlink for these files into the parent which is exactly where we need these files.
• If you would like to add files that you would like to ignore, create touch .stow-local-ignore and add the files you would like to ignore. By default gnu ignores following
