Symlinks?
callumlocke opened this issue · comments
I've been using a fork of this repo and it's awesome.
Just curious... why does the sync.sh copy the files to your home directory? Why not create symlinks instead? That way you wouldn't have to re-sync after editing a file.
Also, some scripts/apps append lines to your dotfiles in ~ automatically (eg, when you install things like pow or rvm, or when you do git config --global --add ...) ...but these get overwritten next time you run sync.sh. Symlinks would solve that too, these changes would actually be made in the HEAD your repo, so you can later commit them if you want).
Yo callum,
I'd rather use symlinks. Just never got around to doing it.
PR welcome from anyone.
I started dumping some ideas about this into mathiasbynens/dotfiles#301 (comment)
