I love stow. My only complaint is that I cannot seem to remember the name of the command: Is it "grab", "collect", "pirate", "organize", "install", "push", "pull", ...?

So I added a note to myself into my .bashrc about this command, and patted myself on the back. The next time I reinstalled Linux, I couldn't remember the name, but I remembered that I wrote a note to myself about it. So opened up my .bashrc, and... I didn't feel so smart.




It doesn't solve the actual underlying problem, but you can enter the definitions in Anki. I bet you'll be able to memorize all of them after 30 days like a law or medical student. Okay, it's a stupid idea, stop laughing... But seriously, if you decide it's worth your life to spend 10 minutes each day for a month to memorize the stupid commands of a dotfile manager, it really works. I had some success on remembering Vim movement commands.


stow needs a GUI frontend
