Cleaning up the junk.

I went through a lot, and put my dotfiles in my dotfiles repo.

Are you using stow for that?

Uhm I just symlink the files hahaha

Is there a better way? There are quite some issues where I need to copy instead of linking.

I just learned about stow, which as far as I understand, is a package that kinda manages the whole symlinking bit for you plus a few things? Honestly, I am not sure how it would differ exactly from what you're doing, but you should check out a short video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6XCebnB9gs&t=3
