I like the storing of the ln command in the file itself. I think I might implement something like that myself with my own dotfiles. I've been keeping the ln commands in a readme but I never really liked having to update that readme each time I add or remove a file to my dotfiles repo (and using a dotfile manager like those mentioned in other comments here does not appeal to me at all). This is a nice solution I hadn't considered. Now I can just replace the list of ln commands in my readme with a one-liner to run that'll show the ln commands from the files. (I don't actually want to automate the actual running of the commands, though.)
