Dotfiles: Unofficial Guide to Dotfiles on GitHub
I think I'm the only person insane enough to use a makefile for this.
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/GNUmake...
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/managing-dotfiles-wi...
It even supports the XDG stuff.

I stopped worrying and loved Makefiles
I (ab)use make to manage my dotfiles.
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/GNUmake...
I'm surprised at how well this thing works every time I use it. I even blogged about it.
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/managing-dotfiles-wi...
Recently made a tool that processes the make database and prints the phony targets and their dependencies:
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/~/.loca...
I use it as a sort of makefile help command. Works surprisingly well too.

Using Make – writing less Makefile
The real makefile that I use and wrote about has some features that I didn't get around to describing in the blog post. Also has a ton of comments.
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/GNUmake...
The metaprogramming template I described is used to implement XDG Base Directories. The links take the XDG variables into account while the real files live in their default locations inside the repository.

DeVStudio – Runs VS Code on Android
Android allows you to swap the virtual keyboard. I use unexpected keyboard which is also free software. It's excellent for programming. Before that I used Hacker's Keyboard which has actual arrow keys.
Termux also has a configurable bar at the bottom where you can map any keys you want. I use it for function and arrow keys plus a bunch of common symbols.
Here's an example from my dotfiles:

Dotfiles: Unofficial Guide to Dotfiles on GitHub
Sorry - should have been specific in top-level comment. I was referring to this one: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/33
Basically, the --dotfiles option was not working with directories so you had to have things that look like this: lazygit/.config/lazygit and now it looks like: lazygit/dot-config/lazygit.
Really a small issue that bugged me forever - shouldn't have made it seem like it was core a problem with stow!

GNU Stow is a very useful Perl program but it has some minor issues that need to be fixed
I use GNU Stow to symlink many shell and configuration files from a repository. It works so well and there are many webpages out there from people telling you how it's the best way to manage dotfiles.
