This is my repository for all of my configuration files that I use across machines. It checks for updates and can be used to bootstrap a new system quickly. Files and folders starting with # will be renamed to start with a ., i.e. #file will become ~/.file.

Read-only:

git clone https://github.com/aka-butters/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
./.dotfiles/dotfiles.sh

Read/Write (for me):

git clone [email protected]:aka-butters/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
./.dotfiles/dotfiles.sh

Once ~/.dotfiles/dotfiles.sh is being sourced by ~/.zshrc you can just run dfup to manually update. It will also automatically update once a week.

dfup now syncs back with github. It's usually better to do it by hand, but it will remind you if you have unsyned changes.

To add submodules run:

cd ~/.dotfiles
git submodule add http://example.com/repo/repo.git where/you/want/the/submodule
dfup

Of course, remember to add/commit your changes when you're ready :)
