My dot files

The repository contains all of my ~/.something files:

Configs for:

• bash
• emacs
• git
• vim (mostly from about 2008)

The layout:

/dot: the directory of the files without leading dot. /bin: helper scripts, to install into ~/bin

/install.sh: the installer script

Install:

Run: <repo-root>/install.sh

This backs up existing non-symlink files or directories with the target name, eg. .gitconfig becomes .gitconfig.$TIMESTAMP.bak

The symlinks are forcibly overwritten.`

To test it, run with parameter, eg:

/install.sh /path/to/somewhere

The target directory is created if does not exist, and the script does everything as it would do in the home directory.

Git config:

The ~/.gitconfig includes two git configs at the end of the config:

• ~/.config/dotfiles/private/.gitconfig
• ~/.config/dotfiles/work/.gitconfig

where the username and the email must be stored, and work-specific settings. In current setup the 'work' git repos are in ~/git/work or ~/src/work directories, where the lower- and uppercase letters are the same, so ~/git/Work is also valid.
