Dotfiles: Unofficial Guide to Dotfiles on GitHub
Sorry - should have been specific in top-level comment. I was referring to this one: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/33
Basically, the --dotfiles option was not working with directories so you had to have things that look like this: lazygit/.config/lazygit and now it looks like: lazygit/dot-config/lazygit.
Really a small issue that bugged me forever - shouldn't have made it seem like it was core a problem with stow!

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.
