My precious dotfiles

based on http://silas.sewell.org/blog/2009/03/08/profile-management-with-git-and-github/

Setup

1. Clone your configuration repository

    git clone git@github.com:mohlendo/dotfiles.git dotfiles.git
   

2. Move the git metadata to ~/.dotfiles.git

    mv dotfiles.git/.git .dotfiles.git
   

3. Move your configuration files to your home directory

    mv -ri dotfiles.git/*. .
   

4. Delete the config.git directory

    rmdir dotfiles.git
   

Basic use

• dotfiles pull for latest changes
• dotfiles add -f .<some_dotfile> to add new file (.gitignore ignores all files, so you need -f)
