## Installation
Use [GNU Stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/) (`apt install stow`, etc.). The repo has a `.stowrc` which should target your home directory as the installation directory, but in some cases the `~` may not be evaluated and you'll have to specify `--target="$HOME"`.

Most of my git configuration lives in `~/.config/git/personal.gitconfig`, which is `include`d from `~/.gitconfig`. I do this to separate system-specific configuration that may be set by automated tools (i.e. the Github CLI setting up credential managers for guthub.com and gist.github.com) from my personal, cross-platform configuration (e.g. my identity and aliases).
