dotfiles tip: if your dotfiles manager only supports 1:1 source→destination mappings, but you need one source folder mounted in two places under $HOME — don't fight the tool.
Trick: keep one source as the truth. Put a relative symlink to it inside your repo at the second location. Now you have two distinct source paths pointing to the same content. Two mappings, no key collision.
The manager will symlink your symlink. The OS resolves the chain transparently. Both `~/.foo/X` and `~/.bar/X` see the same files. One edit point. Single source of truth in git (which stores symlinks natively on Unix).
Tested today on dotbro with a Claude Code skill that lives at both `~/.claude/skills/X` and `~/.agents/skills/X`. Same trick works for stow, chezmoi — anything that calls symlink(2) without resolving src first.
