Re: Asking to create directories prior to symlinking?

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
