Creating a New Stow Package

The repository mirrors your $HOME.

Example for Hyprland:

Current config:

~/.config/hypr/

Move it into the repository:

mkdir -p ~/dotfiles/hypr/.config
mv ~/.config/hypr ~/dotfiles/hypr/.config/

Then create the symlinks:

cd ~/dotfiles
stow hypr

Result:

~/dotfiles
└── hypr
    └── .config
        └── hypr

~/.config/hypr
    ↳ ~/dotfiles/hypr/.config/hypr

To update configs later, simply edit the files inside ~/dotfiles.
