From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm using VCSH, which allows me to split the home directory into multiple git repos without worrying about symlink consistency (like with GNU stow) or apps that have problems with symlinks.

The syntax is exactly the same as git, only that I do (for example) vcsh emacs add -p instead of git add -p.
