How to link non prefixed files not in the home directory?

[datavistics]

How do I link a non-dot file not in the home directory.

Note, I have a few regular dotfiles that are working correctly.

I want to link custom.js in a folder called ~/.jupyter/custom/ and Im trying it like this:

externals = {
    'custom.js': '~/.jupyter/custom'}

But Im getting issues. What is the proper way to do this?

Thanks,
Derek

I updated to the most recent version. I think the above is solved, but my status shows errors and I cant fix it. Running dotfiles command ```(base) ➜ Dotfiles git:(master) > dotfiles status ? ..dotfilesrc ? ..idea/Dotfiles.iml ? ..idea/misc.xml ? ..idea/modules.xml ? ..idea/vcs.xml ? ..idea/workspace.xml ```

Hey Derek, can you provide or describe the repository layout or even a simple example that simulates the problem? I'll see if I can get this sorted.

.dotfilesrc ``` [dotfiles] repository = ~/Dotfiles externals = { 'custom.js': '~/.jupyter/custom'} ignore = [ '.idea/*', '.idea', '.idea/', '..idea/*', '..idea', '..idea/', '..dotfilesrc', '.git', '.gitignore', '*.swp'] ```

The version in the master branch does not use a configuration file anymore, so this could go away. But lets first get the issue resolved. Cheers,

@jbernard,
Sorry, I think my second post made things unclear. Also sorry for the long delay.
Also thanks so much for creating this, its really useful and well done!

My dotfiles status is clear.
I would like to link a file to this path: ~/.jupyter/custom.

I tried dotfiles enable ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.js
and got
ERROR: '/Users/my_username/.jupyter/custom/custom.js' already exists

What is the best way to link it?
Thanks!

Heya, I see this but I can’t get to a computer at the moment (things are bit crazy in this new world). I will take a close look as soon as I can.
