使用 GNU Stow 管理 dotfiles（2012）
Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
2013 — 2022，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这篇 2012 年的文章介绍了如何用 GNU Stow 来管理 dotfiles（各类程序的配置文件）：把配置集中放在一个 git 仓库里，再用 Stow 自动在 home 目录创建符号链接。方法简单可靠，多年来一直是 dotfiles 管理的经典方案之一。
为什么经久不衰：它用最简单的现成工具解决了 dotfiles 管理问题，无需专门脚本或复杂工具，多年来反复被推荐，至今仍是入门这一话题的最佳起点。

普通 git 仓库加手动符号链接就足够，不必用 Stow
恕我守旧，直接建一个普通 git 仓库放所有 dotfiles，再把文件符号链接到需要的地方，有什么不好？你还可以把几条符号链接和命令串成一条可复制的命令快速上手，也能通过加载可选文件轻松管理敏感信息，甚至在 WSL 2 和 Windows 这类跨系统场景下也好用。我这样管理 dotfiles 好几年了，效果不错，还开源在了 GitHub 上。

Call me old fashioned but what's wrong with having a regular git repo anywhere you want with all of your dotfiles and them symlink those files to where they need to go? If you wanted to you could && a few symlinks and other commands into 1 copy / paste'able command to get up and running really quickly. It's also painless to manage secrets by sourcing in optional files. It also works nicely when you want files living across 2 systems (such as WSL 2 and Windows) where on a Windows box you consider certain Windows files dotfiles even though technically they exist elsewhere. I've been managing my dotfiles like this for a few years and it seems to be working out well not just for myself but others who have want to use them either partially or in full. I open sourced them here: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles I purposely broke up some of the commands because I know that not everyone will want a 100% replica of my dotfiles. Folks copy / paste only the commands they want.
Stow + git + org-mode 可以实现可读性极高的配置管理
Stow 很棒，简单好用，配合 git 尤其合适。我最近还把它和 org-mode 的文学编程结合起来，每个程序只有一个 README.org，通过 org tangle 生成所有配置文件，在 GitHub、Emacs 或纯文本下都清晰可读。

STOW is great, it is simple and works well especially combined with git. That's what I do [0], and recently combined it with org-mode for literate programming, so each program has just a README.org that then generates all the files via org tangle [1] [2]. For example, here is my file that generates my Xorg configuration [3] over several files, nicely readable on GitHub, in Emacs, or just as plain text.

bare git 仓库方案可以完全绕开符号链接
你其实不需要符号链接和安装脚本。试试这样：在 home 目录建一个 bare git 仓库，给 git 命令加别名设置 GIT_WORK_TREE 和 GIT_DIR，再用严格的 .gitignore 默认忽略所有文件。添加文件只需 `h git add .vimrc`。我自己就这么用，效果很好。

You don't need symlinks, setup scripts, etc. Try this: 1. Bare git repo in your home directory ($HOME/.files) 2. Alias for prefixing git commands ("env GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME GIT_DIR=$HOME/.files") 3. Strict .gitignore file (that ignores all files by default) Simple to add files: `h git add .vimrc` Have this set up for myself. Works great https://github.com/tmm/dotfiles
dotfiles 之外还需要自动化安装软件的配套脚本
我发现只管理 dotfiles 是不够的，没有对应的软件它们毫无用处。我的做法是为每个程序写一个小的安装脚本（我称之为 setuplets），先安装软件再把 dotfile 符号链接到 git 中管理的主版本，新装机器时用工具选择要运行哪些。

I have found that managing dotfiles is not enough. The dotfiles serve no purpose without the software that uses them. My method is to write small scripts, I call them setuplets, that install the software and then symlink the dotfile to its master that I manage in git. In the simplest case, it is just a two line script in a directory, but I have one for each program, and a tool to select which I run when setting up a new linux machine. The more complex ones may install a number of tools and set up environment variables etc. For environment variables, the script drops a script file in a directory, where my bashrc sources it.
