Symlink – How to Symlink Dotfiles to Documents/Dotfiles

I have a setup script which creates links between my dotfiles repo and the files at the root of my Home directory. Generally speaking, the process looks like this for each file:

ln -s ~/Documents/Dotfiles/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile

Is this linked in the correct direction? E.g, I want to be able to keep my customizations in Documents and just point to them. Most of the documentation I've read seems to assume a traditional Unix or Linux environment, so I'm not sure this is correct.

The relevant part of my setup script is below

#!/bin/bash

set -e

function makeLinks() {
  ln -s ~/Documents/Dotfiles/.bash_aliases ~/.bash_aliases
  ln -s ~/Documents/Dotfiles/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile
  ln -s ~/Documents/Dotfiles/.bash_prompt ~/.bash_prompt
  ln -s ~/Documents/Dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
  ln -s ~/Documents/Dotfiles/.gitignore_global ~/.gitignore_global

  read -rp "This may overwrite existing files. Are you sure? (y/n) " -n 1;
  echo "";
  if [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
    makeLinks
  fi;
}
