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.

GNU Stow is a very useful Perl program but it has some minor issues that need to be fixed
I use GNU Stow to symlink many shell and configuration files from a repository. It works so well and there are many webpages out there from people telling you how it's the best way to manage dotfiles.
