+# Stew Home
+
+This repo contains dotfiles LailaTheElf uses in the home directory. It also
+contains a script (`stow/dot-local/bin/stowhome`) that uses GNU Stow to link
+them from all the correct spots.
+
+## Install
+
+> NOTE: this is made for [ElfOS](https://gitea.finnvanreenen.nl/LailaTheElf/ElfOS.git)
+> any other setup are **not** suported!
+
+1. Install GNU Stow:
+
+```sh
+sudo pacman -Sy stow
+```
+
+2. Clone this repository to `~/.config/dotfiles`.
+
+```sh
+git clone https://gitea.finnvanreenen.nl/LailaTheElf/stowhome.git -O "$HOME/.config/dotfiles"
+```
+
+3. Install stowhome
+
+```sh
+"$HOME/.config/dotfiles/stow/dot-local/bin/stowhome" stow
+```
+
+## File structure
+
+Of the repo, the root directory contains a folder for every package and the
+following files:
+
+- **.stow-local-ignore**: The ignore file for GNU Stow (uses [Perl regex](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre)).
+- **readme.md**: This file.
+
+The packages is essentially a chroot of the home directory. All the files in
+there are links to the corresponding place of the home directory (except the
+once matching a line in the `.stow-local-ignore` file).
+
+The `--dotfile` option is used; this means files and directories starting with
+'dot-' will be prepended with a dot. So `dot-local` will become `.local`. This
+is to prevent a repository full of hidden files.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Link the dotfiles:
+
+```sh
+stowhome <package> [<package> [<package> [...]]]
+```
+
+Where `<package>` is a directory from this repo.
+
+If the dotfiles already exist as normal files (not symlinks), it will skip this
+file. To overwrite the file in stow, use this command:
+
+```sh
+stowhome --adopt <package> [<package> [<package> [...]]]
+```
+
+To overwrite the dotfile, you can just remove or rename the file and then run
+`stowhome` again.
+
+### Update dotfiles
+
+To edit an already managed by stowhome dotfile, you can just edit it. The
+changes will update in the Git repository (`$HOME/.config/dotfiles`), but no
+commit will be made.
+
+Overriding a file with one in this repo is easies by removing or renaming the
+file.
