`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}}`

`stow --restow --target={{path/to/target_directory}} {{file1 folder1 file2 folder2}}`
