# Switch to debian testing
cp /etc/apt/sources.list{,.bak}
sed -i -e 's/ \(stable\|jessie\)/ testing/ig' /etc/apt/sources.list

function dot {
   /usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME $@
}

# Attempt to checkout dotfiles
dot checkout && dot submodule init && dot submodule update

# If checkout failed, some existing conflicting files need to be moved
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
  echo "Checked out config.";
  else
