wstow :- A wrapper around GNU stow that adds some convenience features

To give an abstract overview from README, :-

wstow is a wrapper around GNU stow that makes it easier to make symlinks from multiple sources to multiple targets easily. Instead of using

stow

To make symlinks to multiple folders under your config directory, eg : vifm, nvim, bat, zsh :- with

cd ~/.config
mkdir vifm
cd vifm
stow -v -t ./ -d ../path/to/dotfiles/.config -S vifm
cd ..
# Repeat for other packages replacing 'vifm'

You can now use

wstow

like this :-

wstow file ../path/to/dotfiles/.config ./ vifm alacritty zsh bat

The syntax is like this :-

wstow mode SOURCE_DIR TARGET_PARENT_DIR PACKAGE_NAMES
