# stow
> Symlink manager.
> Often used to manage dotfiles.
- Symlink all files recursively to a given directory:
`stow --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}`
- Delete symlinks recursively from a given directory:
`stow --delete --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}`
- Simulate to see what the result would be like:
`stow --simulate --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}`
- Delete and resymlink:
`stow --restow --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}`
- Exclude files matching a regular expression:
`stow --ignore={{regex}} --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}`
