dotfiles

my dotfiles for unix.

desc

this repository allows you to keep a version control over your dotfiles like .bashrc. first it backs up and removes any dotfiles from ~ that are also in this repo. then it creates symbolic links in ~ that point to the dotfiles in this repo.

setup

clone this repo in ~

cd ~
git clone git@github.com:mrdandelion6/dotfiles.git

backup current dot files

chmod u+x dotfiles/backup_dotfiles.sh
./dotfiles/backup_dotfiles.sh

override current dot files with symbolic link

chmod u+x dotfiles/override_dotfiles.sh
./dotfiles/override_dotfiles.sh

optional: if you want to restore everything from ~/backup_dotfiles/:

mv ~/backup_dotfiles/* ~/dotfiles/*
