Gnu stow has finally been updated to fix a long standing issue so I can once again wholeheartedly recommend it again! It’s lightweight and uses symlinks. Last I checked, chezmoi has a symlink mode but it’s a bit worse.

Curious what the issue you were running into was? I’ve been using stow for my dotfiles for at least 8 years now and have been loving it the whole time.

Basically, the --dotfiles option was not working with directories so you had to have things that look like this: lazygit/.config/lazygit and now it looks like: lazygit/dot-config/lazygit.

Really a small issue that bugged me forever - shouldn't have made it seem like it was core a problem with stow!

What's the issue? I've been using stow for a decade now and can't recall ever running into problems
