To prevent certain files (like this readme) from being linked, list them
inside an .exclude file inside the containing directory.
Create a '.linkdir' file inside any directory that you wish to to link, instead of just linking the individual files it contains (default behavior).
Use '.hook-pre' and '.hook-post' scripts to perform any additional configuration steps you want to perform before restoring a folder from your dotfiles.
Use directories named host-${HOST} and uname-${OS} inside your dotfiles
directory, with the corresponding .hook-pre and .hook-post scripts
if needed. For example, create a directory called host-macbookalex to
store all dotfiles specific to a machine named macbookalex, and create
a directory called uname-Linux to store all dotfiles specific to Linux
machines.
