Re: [Help-stow] Asking to create directories prior to symlinking?

[Magnus Thor Torfason]

To avoid symlinking directories, use

stow --no-folding

From man stow:

       --no-folding
           Disable folding of newly stowed directories when stowing, and
           refolding of newly foldable directories when unstowing.

I always use --no-folding ...

Best,
Magnus
