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.
