For the sake of personal portability, this repository contains several of my essential dotfiles. The technique is borrowed from Michael Smalley

See: https://github.com/michaeljsmalley/dotfiles

Files herein should be cloned to your home directory so that the path is ~/dotfiles/. The included setup script creates symlinks from your home directory to the files which are located in ~/dotfiles/.

The setup script is smart enough to back-up existing dotfiles into a ~/dotfiles_old/ directory if you already have any dotfiles of the same name as the dotfile symlinks being created in your home directory.

Since there are a number of submodule plugins, don't forget to include the --recursive flag.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/evantishuk/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
./makesymlinks.sh
