stow

Symlink manager. Often used to manage dotfiles.

  • Symlink all files recursively to a given directory:

stow --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}

  • Delete symlinks recursively from a given directory:

stow --delete --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}

  • Simulate to see what the result would be like:

stow --simulate --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}

  • Delete and resymlink:

stow --restow --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}

  • Exclude files matching a regular expression:

stow --ignore={{regex}} --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}
