Quick Install 'common' dotfiles

Simulate a dry run first, then do it for real.

cd ~/dotfiles
./install_common --simulate -v
./install_common

The install script uses GNU stow to symlink the dotfiles in to place. stow which will not overwite files, but will replace existing symlinks.

Symlink dotfiles using GNU stow

cd ~/dotfiles/common
ls
stow --target=$HOME ack
stow --target=$HOME ag
stow --target=$HOME git
# etc.

Manually symlink dotfiles

ln -s ~/dotfiles/common/git/.gitignore ~/.gitignore
# etc.
