Inspired by @holman's dotfiles.
This repository contains my
dotfiles and a small bash
script that creates symbolic links for all *.symlink files
(and directories) in this repository in the $HOME directory.
The name of the directory containing a *.symlink file must be an executable
command on the target system. This way, only locally relevant configuration
files (or directories) are linked. This is important for me because I use
this on Linux and macOS.
Since this is my configuration, you should fork it first.
Then clone your fork into $HOME/.dotfiles:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_account/dotfiles.git .dotfiles
Change into it and make it yours:
$ cd .dotfiles
$ vim git/gitconfig.symlink
…
Then run update to create the symlinks:
$ ./update
On any other machine you may just clone the repository and run update to
install your configuration there.
Call update unwire to clean up previously existing symlinks. Then pull
and run update again to install from the updated repository:
$ cd ~/.dotfiles
$ ./update unwire && git pull origin master && ./update
Since I wrote this for myself, existing configuration files will be overwritten without further notice. I'm a daredevil.
