To apply your dotfiles (configuration files), use stow to symlink them from your ~/.dotfiles directory to the appropriate locations in your home directory.
Run the following command to symlink all dotfiles:
stow ~/.dotfiles/* <folder name>
This will create symlinks for all the configuration files in your ~/.dotfiles directory, ensuring that your system is set up with your desired configurations.
