managed with stow
passing --no-folding to stow is recommended. this avoids symlinking directories which end up containing other files. example: stowing ssh might lead to ~/.ssh being a symlink to etc/ssh/.ssh. then if you generate an ssh key, it'll be in ~/.ssh/id_rsa, which is actually etc/ssh/.ssh/id_rsa. then you might accidentally add the key to git, and then you would be very sad. it's tough to remember every possible thing that might need to be gitignored. using --no-folding ensures that only files get symlinked, so you'll never accidentally symlink a directory containing things you don't want in git.
