For nonidentical devices you create additional packages prefixed with specific device name. You don’t need to link all packages at once with stow, pass a name of a package to link it alone.uuu

Sooo… I find some way to share the dotfiles directory across devices (rsync, syncthing, git, nextcloud, DAV) then make specific subdirs like this?:

<span style="color:#323232;">~
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  - dotfiles
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      - bash-desktop
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         dot-bashrc
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         dot-bash_profile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      - bash-laptop
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         dot-bashrc
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         dot-profile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         dot-bash_profile
</span>

But what is the software doing for me? I’m manually moving all these files and putting them together in the specific way requested. Setting the whole thing up is most of the work. Anyone who can write a script to create the structure can just as easily write it to make symlinks. I’m sure I’m missing something here.
