lash – symlink manager for dotfiles

Lash is a command-line application that is intended to replace Stow. It is not intended to be a drop-in replacement but it does aim to replace most of the implemented functionality of Stow.

This is free and open source software.

Differences to stow:

• Configured by TOML files called lash.toml
• Commandl-line arguments do not match (lash link vs stow -S)
• Does not fold any of the directory structure (lash always creates the folders and links individual files rather than attempting to minimize the number of links created).
• The --dotfiles option has been fixed.
