My `dotfiles` managed by `GNU Stow`.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

Required:

- `git`: For cloning and managing the repository.

- `stow`: For symlinking and managing dotfiles.

Optional (but recommended):

- `neovim`: For a modern Vim experience.

- `tmux`: For terminal multiplexing and session management.

### Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   ```bash

   git clone git@github.com:ragibasif/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

   ```

2. Enter the Directory:

   ```bash

   cd ~/dotfiles

   ```

3. Run the Installation Script:

   ```bash

   ./install.sh

   ```

## Usage

### Stowing Specific Configurations

```bash

stow bash      # Applies ONLY the bash configurations

stow nvim      # Applies ONLY the neovim configurations

stow vim       # Applies ONLY the vim configurations

stow git       # Applies ONLY the git configurations

stow tmux      # Applies ONLY the tmux configurations

```

### Customizing the `.stow-local-ignore` File

The `.stow-local-ignore` file allows you to specify files or directories that

should be ignored when stowing.

### Overwriting Existing Files

By default, `stow` will not overwrite existing files. Using the `--adopt` or

`--override` flags will overwrite conflicting files.

```bash

stow --override bash

```

Or

```bash

stow --adopt zsh

```
