dotfiles

Here’s my dotfiles, inspired by people like Mathias. See his dotfiles at https://github.com/mathias/dotfiles.

The idea I’m currently going down is to create a symlink from $HOME to this directory. There is one exception to this, the .gitconfig file. This derives from not wanting anyone to accidentally commiting as me to git, that would however require people to use this repo, unlikely. So my git credentials are stored in a .extra file which gets sourced. This then calls the relavent git command, which causes git to edit $HOME/.gitconfig. If that file was a symlink to this repo, then the repo would see the file as edited and the repo would then be in a dirty state, permanently.

Usage

First clone the repo. Then run ./boostrap.sh, this will create all the necessary symlinks. This is a destructive process, so backup your dotfiles first.
