I decided to have a dotfiles repo a few months ago. Started with a @holman fork but was rebuted by the bootstrap&#x2F;install scripts limitations.<p>Using stow resolved that.<p>Then I stumbled upon questions that did not have obvious gold standard way to do it :<p>- how do you differentiate folders meant to be stowed from others?<p>- how do you store config files saved at different locations depending on platform without duplicating content?<p>- how to deal with files with sensitive information?<p>So I used some guidelines to deal with theses cases, the result is F-dotfiles.
