In this repository I collect misc dotfiles which don’t really belong in another repo, or that must be present at a fixed location that cannot practically be made to fit within a regular git repo, such as .screenrc.[fn:1]

Install using:

$ ./install.sh install

This will create symlinks at appropriate places in the home directory, create folders when needed etc.

This will not overwrite any existing files, but will warn when there is an existing file that you might want to remove.

Uninstall using:

$ ./install.sh uninstall

WARNING: This will do some simple checks to check whether it looks like the file was installed by this script; however it might be as simple as checking whether the file is a symlink or not, and thus might inadvertently remove a file that was not installed with the script.

[fn:1] Cf. my ratpoison or emacs configuration, where I can put the configuration in another directory and have a simple stub at ~/.ratpoisonrc or ~/.emacs that loads the actual configuration. Thus they qualify to have their own repo by virtue of this, as well as by being very large and complex configurations on their own.
