ankur's dotfiles

1. Clone the repo into ~/.dotfiles.
2. Get the submodules (for antigen): git submodule init; git submodule update.
3. Use GNU Stow from the ~/.dotfiles directory to create symlinks at the top level of the home directory (e.g. stow zsh).
4. Install zgen:

• git remote add -f zgen https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen.git
• git subtree add --prefix zgen/.zgen zgen master --squash

• Updating zgen should look like: git fetch zgen master && git subtree pull --prefix zgen/.zgen zgen master --squash. See: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/git/alternatives-to-git-submodule-git-subtree
