Clone the repo to your home folder. Symlink the files in this ~/dotfiles folder to ~ folder. Be sure to use the absolute path
ls -nfs /Users/diede/dotfiles/.tmux.conf /Users/diede/.tmux.conf
The flags added to the symlinking command offer a few additional benefits: -s creates a symbolic link instead of a hard link -f continues with other symlinking when an error occurs (not needed here, but useful in loops) -n avoids symlinking a symlink (same as -h for other versions of ln)
