<p>In this screen cast, I offer an introduction to GNU Stow. Its manpage
|
||
describes it as a “software package installation manager”.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I personally use <code>stow</code> to exercise centralised control over sets of
|
||
custom configuration files. It makes things considerably easier,
|
||
especially when working with complex directory structures, such as
|
||
those found in <a href="https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/dotfiles">my dotfiles</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In the video I also make reference to my latest book, “<a href="https://protesilaos.com/pdfd">Prot’s Dots
|
||
For Debian</a>” (PDFD) which contains a
|
||
section on how to use GNU Stow for the purposes of reproducing my
|
||
custom desktop session.</p>
