Using the GNU stow utility makes this super easy. It even has a --dotfiles flag so you can author your dotfiles as dot-zshrc and when the utility symlinks it, it will be .zshrc. Makes it nice so your source files are not hidden but the actual dotfiles are (as expected).

Although GNU stow is very interesting, I like this simple script because it has no external dependencies. Stow is not available on macos by default, for example.

It is available though in every package manager for macOS except the App Store, and any user of a script like this on macOS is probably also using Homebrew, macports, Nix, or srcpkg.
