I struggle to see a valid usecase for this that isn’t handled by symlinks.
I didn’t understand what this was from the title. Perhaps a better description would be “mod_rewrite for your homedir”
I absolutely love this and have wanted to take the time to build this for years precisely because of dotfiles. Thank you!
One of the annoyances of Linux is working out where configuration information is, following through multiple layers of indirection and files over-riding other files. This looks like adding another layer, another place to look, and if you're reading the man file for a shell (for example) it probably won't even mention that this could invalidate the information contained in that in the man file.
