clone this repo into %USERPROFILE% directory (into C:\Users\USERNAME\dotfiles\)
then create these symlinks from admin basic cmd prompt (not powershell):

cd C:\Users\USERNAME
mklink /D  vimfiles\  dotfiles\vimfiles\
mklink /D  .vim\      dotfiles\vimfiles\
mklink     .minttyrc  dotfiles\.minttyrc
mklink     .gitconfig  dotfiles\.gitconfig

the .vim dir is necessary because git for windows mintty shell ships its own version of vim which looks in the unix locations

then Win+R then shell:startup and add shortcuts to the AHK scripts to startup

clone this repo into $HOME directory
then create the symlinks with ln -s source link
