A Decade of Dotfiles
I used GNU Stow for a several years and always found it difficult to tell what symlinks were actually being created, even in verbose mode.
When I also ran into the stow bug with --dotfiles , I gave up on stow and wrote fling ( https://github.com/bbkane/fling ), which works quite similarly, but prints out what symlinks it plans to create and asks for confirmation before making them. Being written in Go, fling is also easy to install on Windows, which has come in real handy on occasion.

Nix Home Manager Option Search
Many command line programs keep their configurations somewhere under $HOME. These are often called "dotfiles".
If you ever use more than one machine, likely you'll want the same configuration available on all those machines.. so you'll want some way to copy them to a new machine.
Some dotfile managers are quite simple, like dotbot. https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot
Home Manager from the Nix community is a bit more sophisticated. It allows for writing configurations in the Nix language, which is nice if you know/like Nix. (Nix is a powerful/expressive package manager. Nix is to apt-get what vim is to notepad).

Dotfiles Management
Dotbot (https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) has worked extremely well for me. It’s simple to setup, has minimal dependencies, and it is also easy to run arbitrary commands if I want to get tricky with things. I would highly recommend it.
