Manage Your Dotfiles Like A Superhero

In this fourth episode of the "Build A Portable Development Environment" series we call all of our relevant dotfiles into a common ".dotfiles" folder. By doing so, we are able to version control our configuration using Git! To accomplish this we will use a command line tool called GNU Stow.
