It's interesting, Stow is great if you're symlinking single locations to many symlinks, or merging directories, but I had a hard time generating stand-alone, relative symlinks in $HOME with stow that didn't also mess with things in other ways.

I use Stow myself to source music files from multiple root directories, it's a great piece of software that I simply could not wrangle to pull off what I was after.

Here's a link to the hacky script: https://git.zlg.space/linkfarm/tree/linkfarm.sh

Thanks for mentioning Stow, though; it doesn't get enough love and if you're smart with it, you can do some crazy things that, manually, would take hours or days.
