Use stow

I have tried to get into using a dotfiles manager, I started using chezmoi, but I found it cumbersome and a tad complicated. Do note that this was some time ago and the application probably have evolved and improved.

Anyway I will over stow, which seems simpler so I am trying this out.

I started by organizing everything the wrong way, with files in the root directory of my stow directory.

.rw-r--r--@ 3.9k jonasbn 29 Mar 18:36 .bashrc
.rw-r--r--@  829 jonasbn 29 Mar 18:36 .profile
.rw-r--r--@  410 jonasbn 29 Mar 18:36 .tmux.conf
.rw-r--r--@  311 jonasbn 29 Mar 18:36 .vimrc
