Sync rules

What travels, what stays, what never leaves

GNU Stow in your home directory Every rule on this page, by file

· ~/.stowrc Sync

· ~/.stow-global-ignore Sync

Only what the catalog names. A directory that syncs brings everything inside it except what is listed as excluded here.

Same data, in the shape your tool already reads

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/stow. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page.
