# dotfiles
|
|
My Dotfiles managed by Gnu Stow
|
|
|
|
## Usage:
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository to ~/dotfiles with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/anthonyoteri/dotfiles ~/dotfiles
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change into the `~/dotfiles` directory and create the symlink tree using
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
stow .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Adding a new file.
|
|
|
|
Move the file into the `~/dotfiles` folder under the same directory structure
|
|
as if the root of the repository were the home folder, then run `stow .` to
|
|
create a symlink.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
The original files should live under the `~/dotfiles` directory in the same
|
|
layout as they would appear in the home directory. Gnu Stow will walk the
|
|
directory tree, and create symlinks in the parent directory of any files it
|
|
finds there. E.g. `~/dotfiles/.foobar` will be mapped as a symlink to
|
|
`~/.foobar`, and `~/dotfiles/some/path/.barfoo` will be mapped as a symlink
|
|
to `~/some/path/.barfoo`.
