These are my dotfiles. They are conveniently presented as a homesick castle. You can gem install homesick
and then homesick clone git://github.com/mwunsch/dotfiles.git
Alternatively, you can use GNU Stow to manage the symlink. This is my preferred approach. Install stow, clone the repository to your preferred location (I keep it in Dropbox), then cd
to that location and run something to the effect of:
$ stow --target=$HOME ./home
Check the stow
manpage for other use cases.
