dotfiles

A collection of miscellaneous .files ("dot" files) and some regular files. Files can be saved anywhere in the repository, and symlinked to the actual files in their correct different locations on the system.

If you're interested, here's a post with some more context: Managing Local and Remote Dot Files

Add New File

To add a new .file (or any other config file for that matter):

1. Copy the existing file to anywhere in the repo, chose the most logical path (the place you save the file in the repo doesn't have to correspond to the actual real path on the system where the original file is – chose whatever's most convenient for you). It makes sense to group multiple related files into appropriately named folders. File names must be identical to the actual ones on the system.

2. Add a new entry to the links file. The format is:

/path/on/system/.my-file1, /path/in/repo/.my-file1
/path/on/system/with\ space/.my-file2 /path/in/repo/.my-file2

See links for more details and examples.
