Exactly... but it still adds some overhead, which I'm honestly not a huge fan of.

At the end of the day, I want a single directory, where I can symlink the files and folders into their appropriate places, and share them across multiple machines, all that, without digging too deep into the tool, especially when I frequently update things, like a neovim config, etc..

And stow, paired with git, does exactly what I need. I only made some "aliases" to simplify the workflow.
