Hi, first of all thanks for this great resource. I get confused by the use of the words target/source, for eg in describing the [`Link` directive](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot#format): > Link commands are specified as a dictionary mapping targets to source locations In my understanding, a symlink has a target, the file it points to. (eg `man ln` says: `In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME.`) So I think it's clearer to say something like > Link commands are specified as a dictionary mapping symlink names to their targets More generally, it would help to have a sentence at the beginning saying that dotbot works by i)taking a list of version-controlled dotfiles cloned on a system ii) making symlinks pointing to those dotfiles on the system and iii) the install.config.yaml specifying which pairs of symlink -> target dotfile to make.
