# dotfiles
|
||
|
||
Here’s my dotfiles, inspired by people like Mathias. See his dotfiles at
|
||
`[https://github.com/mathias/dotfiles](https://github.com/mathias/dotfiles)`.
|
||
|
||
The idea I’m currently going down is to create a symlink from `$HOME` to this
|
||
directory. There is one exception to this, the `.gitconfig` file. This derives
|
||
from not wanting anyone to accidentally commiting as me to git, that would
|
||
however require people to use this repo, unlikely. So my git credentials are
|
||
stored in a `.extra` file which gets sourced. This then calls the relavent git
|
||
command, which causes git to edit `$HOME/.gitconfig`. If that file was a symlink
|
||
to this repo, then the repo would see the file as edited and the repo would then
|
||
be in a dirty state, permanently.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
First clone the repo. Then run `./boostrap.sh`, this will create all the
|
||
necessary symlinks. This is a *destructive* process, so backup your dotfiles
|
||
first.
