link-conf is a little shell script I wrote to recursively hard-link and
make directories following the structure of a "config directory". This
allows me to have a "clean" working git repository but edit config files
as usual ignoring the fact they are part of a git project and located in
another place.
Use "link-conf.sh --help" to see how the program is called. If you are
unsure you can always use the "-d -v" options together to see what the
program would propose to link, create, and safely remove. There is an
option "-f" that will force removal of files while it recursively
links. This is in the case where the config dir and the target exist as
files and the target file is not referenced by any hard-link and thus if
removed will be gone forever. Do not use "-f" or "--force" if you don't
know what you're doing.
This program could be cleaned up a bit and it would be nice if it was
run after every commit (use a git hook in .git/hooks/).
