 Each folder in the root of this repository functions as a module with files inside being stowed (symlinked) relative to `~`. For example, when stowing *river*, `river/.config/river/` is symlinked to `~/.config/river`, `river/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/river-portals.conf` to `~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/river-portals.conf`, and `river/.config/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/` to `~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr`.
