Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
There's also `homesick`[1], which is a Ruby dotfile manager. If you don't feel like managing a Ruby distro and want something more portable (and `homesick` looks to be a stale project anyway), you can use `homeshick`[2] which is a Bash port that's still being maintained. (I use `homeshick`)
The last time I dug into this, `homeshick` was had more features and fit my needs better than `stow`.
Alternatively, check out YADM[3], "Yet Another Dotfile Manager", which I'm probably switching to once I get some time.

that was 9 years ago and it was code smell that things were broken apart incorrectly and at some point i rewrote it so that wasn't necessary -- but sometimes you just gotta move the ball down the field, even if you don't get a first down.

Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
I've found the Chef project (https://github.com/chef/chef) to be high quality and easily readable but I've been working with Chef for like 8 years at this point which might be influencing how I view it.
Hashicorp projects also seem very well done too especially given how extensible they are.
